To prepare a 1986 winner almond thumbprint cookies baked goods recipe, first you will need to prepare the almond butter. You can find it at your local grocery store, or you can buy it online. Measure out 2 tablespoons of the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon of almond extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into the greased and floured muffin tin. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
