Almond Orange Shortbread Cookies

yummmm!!!

Preheat oven to 350 f

Cream together 3 sticks of unsalted butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the zest of an orange in to the bowl and combined thoroughly.

In a another bowl sift 11/2 cups of almond flour with 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. add to the butter mixture. Mix on low until combined.

Dough should start to come together in the bowl so pour dough onto floured surface and shape into a disk. Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge.

Roll out dough 1/2 inch thick and use cookie cutter to cut out whatever shape you like. (I used a circle shaped one with scalloped edges).

Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes or until edges or golden brown.
