Directions

  1. In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla flavor, and a pinch of salt.

  2. Add the eggs, oil, and cornstarch to the mixture. Stir until well combined. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing until a soft dough forms.

  3. Shape the dough into small balls, then gently flatten them into rounds. Coat each round with egg white and press into the flaked almonds to cover.

  4. Place the prepared rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

  5. Once baked and cooled slightly, spoon strawberry marmalade on top of each cookie. Serve and enjoy!
