Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3 drops bitter almond oil (see note)
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven (375°F, 190°C).
  2. Grease baking trays.
  3. Mix butter with sugar until creamy. Add egg and egg yolk and mix until foamy.
  4. Add almonds and a few drops oil of bitter almonds.
  5. Add flour (mixed with baking powder) little by little and mix. The dough should be elastic, but will not be smooth.
  6. Fill in the dough into a cookie press with big star nozzle or better into a meat grinder with a big star nozzle.
  7. Make/press dough strings of about 2 to 3-inches. Form dough strings into rings, S , horseshoes or any other shapes you like and place on baking tray.
  8. Bake for about 12 minutes. Cookies should still be light.
  9. NOTE: Oil of bitter almonds: if you can't find it, use almond extract.
  10. NOTE on cookie press: the dough is elastic but not smooth. So using a simple icing bag could be difficult. I use a meat grinder with a special cookie star nozzle. You can use a suited cookie press.
  11. NOTE on custom yield: I really can't give the correct custom yield. But the amount will make several baking trays. Baking time is given for one tray.
