Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and egg until smooth. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time and stir until a lumpy dough forms.
- If dough is too sticky, add more flour. If dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water. Use an ice cream scoop to measure out even sized balls of dough. Roll the dough between your palms until round.
- Mix together the remaining cup of sugar with cinnamon, as desired. Gently toss the dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil.
- Use the flat bottom of a jar or glass to flatten the cookies so they are about 1/2 inch thick. Press five almond slivers into the center of each cookie in a pattern similar to a sand dollar. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies have puffed up and cooked through.
- Brush any remaining cinnamon onto the tops of the slivered almonds to help accentuate the pattern on the cookies. Serve warm or room temperature and seaside! Enjoy!
