Ingredients
Preparation
Put the two yolks, the very soft butter and the powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous mass.
Add flour and almond powder. Mix quickly so as not to overwork the resulting dough. Mixing the yolks, butter and sugar into a very soft dough first, allows the flour and almond powder to be added quickly afterwards.
Place this dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper. This way of doing things avoids the addition of flour and above all does not dirty the work surface! Then spread on a thickness of 1 cm.
Put the dough between the 2 sheets (spread on 1cm…) in the refrigerator until it hardens. Remove the leaves one by one like a decal.
Cut out with a 6cm cookie cutter but leave the dough in the cutters! Which implies to have several (at least 10) and/or to cook in several times. But one won’t be enough and if you let the dough cook without the cookie cutter, it will spread and sink into the pan!
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the cookie cutters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest in a cool place while you preheat.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, the cooking time always depends on the power of the oven! Remove the palets from the pan and cool them on a rack.
