Chinese almond cookies are an incredibly delicious and nutritious snack. They are quite easy to make and can also serve as an excellent present or a sweet addition to a potluck supper.
Ingredients
- Flour - 2 cups
- Baking powder - ½ tsp
- Baking soda - ½ tsp
- Salt - ⅛ tsp
- Butter - ½ cup
- White sugar (can add up to 2 more tbsp, if desired) - ¾ cup
- Egg - 1
- Almond extract - 2½ tsp
- Whole, blanched almonds (one for each cookie) - 30
- Egg, lightly beaten - 1
Instructions
- First of all, you have to preheat your oven to around 325 degrees Fahrenheit (162.5 degrees Celsius).
- Take a large bowl and put the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in it. Mix all the ingredients well.
- Then, take a medium bowl and put butter or margarine along with sugar in it.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
- After that, add the egg and the almond extract in the mixture and beat it again.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix them well.
- You have to mix until the mixture becomes a dough. In order to properly work the dough, you have to use your hands (make sure you wash them before diving in).
- After that, make rolls of the dough and put them in the refrigerator for around two hours.
- It is extremely important for you to wrap the rolls before placing them in the refrigerator - use aluminium foil or cling film.
- Then, take the dough out of the refrigerator and make balls out of the rolls.
- Meanwhile, prepare a baking sheet by spraying some oil on it.
- Place the balls on the cookie sheet.
- There must be at least a 1 ½ inch gap in between the cookie balls.
- Then, you have to brush all the balls with the beaten egg, and press an almond half into the top of each.
- Put the cookie tray in the oven and bake the cookies for around 15 to 18 minutes.
- You have to bake the cookies until they become golden brown.
- Now, take the cookie tray out of the oven and put it aside for a while so that the cookies can cool down.
- Take an airtight container and put the cooled cookies in it.
- Keep the container closed, and eat the cookies whenever you wish.
