Method
Make the dough
- Cut the cold butter into pieces.
- Add all the cookie dough ingredients to the food processor, and pulse until it resembles wet sand.
- Dump the contents out on a board, and with your hands shape it into a ball. You may have to put some pressure on it.
- Wrap the ball in cling film, and place it in the fridge for 45 Minutes
Shape the dough and bake the cookies
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC (320F), in non convection mode.
- Roll the dough ball out until it's 3mm (⅛") on top of a sheet of parchment paper. The dough is a bit sticky, so frequently dust your rolling pin with flour, or put a light dusting of flour on the dough.
- Dust the top of the dough evenly with cinnamon. Make sure it's not too much.
- Cover the top with pearl sugar and almonds. You want to make sure it's evenly distributed, and there are no big gaps of cookie dough without toppings. Press the toppings down a little bit, to make sure they "stick" to the dough.
- Transfer the parchment paper with the cookie dough to a cookie sheet. If the dough feels really soft, you can refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the cookie on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.
Cutting and cooling the cookies
- When the cookie sheet comes out of the oven, cut the dough into rectangles or squares.
- Transfer to a rack to cool.
