3/4 cup (180 ml) ground almonds

1 cup (250 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup (180 ml) icing sugar

1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

1 egg

In a bowl, combine the ground almonds, flour, and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat until smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients.

On a work surface, place the dough on plastic wrap and form a 25-cm (10-inch) long by 5-cm (2-inch) in diameter cylinder. Close the cylinder by twisting and tying the two ends of the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until the dough is very firm to the touch.

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Unwrap and place the roll on a work surface. Cut into 1-cm (1/2-inch) thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
