Start by scraping half of a vanilla pod into the sugar.

Mix the scraped vanilla with 25 g of sugar.

Cream together 200 g of salted butter and the sugar mixture for about 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.

Add in 1 large egg and mix again, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine 75 g of almond flour and 250 g of plain flour.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing gently until combined.

Prepare a piping bag fitted with a 1M star tip and pipe the dough onto a baking tray.

Refrigerate the piped cookies to keep the butter cool while preheating the oven to 200°C.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly brown.
