Ingredients

2¾ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed at room temperature
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Put the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt into a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine; reserve.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Using a Cuisinart® Hand or Stand Mixer fitted with the mixing beaters/paddle, mix until light and creamy. Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time; mix until fully combined. Add the reserved dry ingredients and mix on low, until just combined.
Fit the Cuisinart® Electric Cookie Press with desired disc, as instructed. Load the cookie dough to the MAX fill line. Press cookie dough out onto an ungreased/unlined baking pan, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Cool cookies before removing from pan.

It is important that the toasted almonds are very finely ground, or they can clog the cookie press. If you wish, substitute your favorite variety of nut for the almonds.
