This recipe comes from mother of one of my blog readers, Michele.
I made a few small adjustments to the original spec and they turned out amazing! I love the texture that lays somewhere between a biscuit and a macaron, dead easy to make and super delicious to snack on while watching your favourite movie on the sofa.
The only thing you gonna need is a cup of tea or coffee :)

Portion size: Makes around 24 cookies
Preparation time: 30-40 minutes (including dough resting time)
Baking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
250g of plain flour (works with gluten-free flour as well)
100g of ground almonds
pinch of salt
2tsp of baking powder
200g of caster/granulated sugar
100g of butter (room temperature)
2 large eggs
2tsp of vanilla bean paste
icing sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Sieve plain flour into a standing mixer bowl and add all the remaining ingredients, mix everything together until you reach a uniform cookie dough.
Transfer ready dough onto a plate and place it inside the refrigerator to bring down its temperature (around 20-30 minutes)
Preheat the fan oven to 180C (350F).
Pinch a tablespoon of the dough and roll in your hands to form a ball then flatten and place on a non-stick baking tray.
Bake cookies for around 10 minutes then allow to cool down before removing them from the tray.
Once cooled, dust with icing sugar.
Variations:
Try to use other ground nuts instead of almonds or use coconut to make it nut-free.
