  12. 1/3 cupwhole almonds, slightly ground with mortar & pestle

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 15 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven 350°

  2. 2

    Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Beat the butter with the sugars until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the salt & baking powder as you mix

  5. 5

    Add the vanilla & almond extracts.

  6. 6

    Beat in the eggs until smooth and gradually add the ap & almond flour till completely incorporated. The dough will be very sticky.

  7. 7

    With a rubber spatula mix in the almonds & cherries.

  8. 8

    Transfer the dough to the baking sheet & divide it into 2 evenly. Form it to about 2"x10"x3/4" logs. Use a brush slightly dampened to smooth it along the top & sides. Square it off as best you can.

  9. 9

    Bake for 25 minutes

  10. 10

    I use the water at this point when I remove it from the oven to soften the crust to ease the slicing. If you choose to do this just brush it down lightly with water & wait 5 minutes

  11. 11

    Reduce the heat to 315°

  12. 12

    Cut to about 3/4" slices & set them onto baking sheet on a cut edge. Return them to the oven.

  13. 13

    Bake for another 25 minutes or until they turn a golden color. Pull them out and let cool on a rack.

  14. 14

    Make yourself a coffee / cappuccino & image sitting in a cafe in Venice dipping these little goodies. ;)
