Ingredients
Method
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Cream the Butter & Sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, icing sugar, and vanilla sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add Liquids
- Mix in the whiskey and lemon juice until well combined.
Fold in Dry Ingredients
- Sift the baking powder into the mixture.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Add the chopped almonds and mix them into the dough.
Shape the Kourabiedes
- Pinch off a small amount of dough and roll it into a small ball or into a crescent shape. Place onto the prepared baking tray.
Bake
- Bake the kourabiedes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
Cool & Dust
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes. While still warm, dust the kourabiedes with icing sugar.
