120g of butter
100g of sugar
50g of milk
220g of flour
15g of cocoa powder
4g of baking powder
100g of sliced almonds
1g of salt
1. First, whip the butter and sugar together thoroughly. Add the salt as well.
Tip: Use room-temperature soft butter.
2. Sift in all the dry ingredients.
Tip: Sifting prevents clumps and makes it easier to mix.
3. Once it starts to gather together, adjust the consistency by adding milk. Then add the sliced almonds.
Tip: Don’t add all the milk at once. Add it as you go when checking the consistency.
4. Shape the dough into a rectangular shape.
Tip: You can also scoop it out without freezing it and just put it on the sheet.
5. Wrap it in parchment paper and freeze it for about two hours.
Tip: If you plan to store the dough in the freezer, seal it in a ziplock.
6. Slice the dough to about a quarter-inch to 0.4-inch thickness and place it on the baking pan with space in between so they don’t stick together.
Tip: If the dough from the freezer is too hard to slice, leave the dough at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing.
7. Bake for 15 minutes in an oven set to about 338 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tip: Let them cool on the baking pan after baking to make them crispier.
