Directions

90 min
  1. 1

    Sift together 90g all-purpose flour, 30g almond flour, and 1 tsp baking powder twice.

  2. 2

    Separate the egg into yolk and white. Let the egg white and 60g unsalted butter come to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Beat 60g unsalted butter with a hand mixer until creamy, then add 50g sugar and continue mixing.

  4. 4

    Add 1 egg yolk and vanilla extract to taste, and mix well.

  5. 5

    Gradually fold in the sifted dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until no floury streaks remain.

  6. 6

    Place the dough in a zip-lock or plastic bag, roll out to an even 3mm thickness, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cut or stamp the dough into your desired shapes and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  8. 8

    Bake in an oven preheated to 160°C for 10–15 minutes until lightly golden, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  9. 9

    Combine 1 egg white and 1 tbsp granulated sugar in a bowl and whisk to stiff peaks (about 90% stiff meringue).

  10. 10

    Soften 50g unsalted butter at room temperature and beat with a hand mixer until creamy.

  11. 11

    Gradually fold in the meringue a little at a time until fully combined, then add the ★ seasonings and raisins to taste and mix well.

  12. 12

    Sandwich the cream between two cookies and press together. Enjoy!

Tips

The cookies taste even better after resting overnight in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 1 week refrigerated, but since the buttercream contains uncooked egg white, please consume them as soon as possible.
