Ingredients For Andorran Coques

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)

Note: The ingredients may vary based on the recipe and desired flavor.

Preparation Of Andorran Coques

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until fully combined.

Shape the dough into small balls (about 1 1/2 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Press the balls down lightly to flatten them slightly and top with a sprinkle of sliced almonds, if desired.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

Make sure to use unsalted butter for the best flavor.

To prevent the dough from spreading too much during baking, keep the balls compact and avoid flattening them too much.

Store cooled Coques in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Bon appétit,
