  2. Add the beaten egg a little at a time while mixing. If the egg and butter separate, try adding a small amount of the cake flour. This may fix the separation but be sure not to use more than the total amount of flour later.

Recipe Notes

We recommend using the extra fine sugar to help it combine with the butter.
These almond cookies are relatively thin and they are perfect for making cookie sandwiches. We’re planning to make popular Raisin Sandwhich Cookies in the future.
