Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1/2 teaspoon chicory and coffee essence

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 180C / 350F.
  2. Cream butter, icing sugar, and essence add flour and cornflour to make a soft dough.
  3. Add crushed almonds and knead well to incorporate them into the dough.
  4. Take small pieces of dough, roll the length of your palm (about 5-6 cm long), and gently curve the edges inwards.

Note: I tweaked it slightly by adding roasted walnuts as well as Chicory and coffee essence
