Ingredients

50

50 servings

  • 0.5 cup vegetable shortening
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
  • 1 (21 ounce) package guava paste, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.
  • Beat shortening and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • Add flour, 1 cup at a time, until completely mixed; the dough should be stiff and able to hold its shape when formed into a ball. If this consistency is not achieved, add a little more flour.
  • Make 1-inch balls of dough and place 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Use your finger to make small indentations in the middle of each cookie; fill each with a cube of guava paste.
  • Bake in batches in the preheated oven until light golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes, switching racks halfway through; do not overcook. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
