1

Gather the ingredients

First, let's gather all the bewitching ingredients we need. You'll need 1 cup of softened butter, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of almond extract, 2 eggs, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 cup of sliced almonds.

2

Mix the magical dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and almond extract until it's light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, and mix until everything is well combined and you've got a smooth, enchanting dough.

3

Shape the amulets

Now comes the fun part! Divide the dough in half, wrap each portion in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take one portion of dough from the refrigerator, and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Cut out amulet shapes using a cookie cutter of your choice. Carefully transfer the amulets to a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Sprinkle the tops of the amulets with sliced almonds, gently pressing them into the dough to secure.

4

Bake to golden perfection

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the amulets for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can turn from magical to burnt in the blink of an eye. Once baked, remove the amulets from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough.

Now that your Alpine Almond Amulet cookies are ready, it's time to indulge in their spellbinding flavor. Grab a cookie, take a bite, and let the enchantment whisk you away to a land of almond-infused bliss. Share the rest with your loved ones before they disappear into thin air!
