Kourabiedes Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Saute the walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then roughtly chop about 1/2 cup of the nuts, and finely chop the remaining nuts.
  • Stir the flour, baking powder, salt and nuts together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, beat the butter, sugar, egg yolk, brandy and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture gets light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
  • At low speed, stir in the nut mixture to make a crumbly dough. Cover the bowl and set dough aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Roll small tablespoons of dough (about 1 inch) between palms to make balls. Pinch the ends of the balls to make a football shape. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until the cookies set and start to brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Cool slightly
  • Put the confectioners' sugar in a bag, and add 5 to 6 of the warm cookies to it. Very gently toss the cookies to coat with sugar. Remove them from the bag and cool cookies on a rack. Repeat with remaining cookies.

    Sounds lovely, but can you describe the "Amber" liqueur? I don't recognize it ~ what flavour is it so I can find a substitute? Thanks!
