I love cookies...especially home-baked. Today I will share with you my Almond Cookies Recipe. This cookie is easy to bake, nice to eat and you can even bake it and give to friends and relatives during Chinese New Year period too!
It is always a fun thing whenever I do baking! I like to see the satisfied look from family and friends when they tasted my cookies or cakes or dishes. I think that's what every "cook" love to see!
Tomorrow is Saturday, if you have the time try baking some since the ingredients are easy to find.
Ingredients (Recipe makes about 120 pieces):
300g Ground Almond
300g Plain Flour (Sieve)
100g Icing Sugar (Sieve)
1/2 tsp Salt
150g Shortening
* You will need to get cookie mould (any shape or design you like)
- Preheat oven at 150 degree for 15 minutes.
- Spread ground almond on baking tray and bake for 25 minutes (mix every 5 to 10 minutes to prevent over burning). Leave to cool completely.
- Turn oven temperature to 180 degree now.
- Put plain flour, icing sugar, cooled almond powder into mixer bowl and mix well with hand.
- Add in shortening and mix softly with hand using rubbing in method (do not press, just rub gently). Grab a handful and press it to see if it holds (If don't, slowly add in 1 tbsp water to mix and try again...repeat method till mixture can hold).
- Grease 3 baking tin and dust some flour on the surface of the tin.
- Fill the cookie mould with almond powder mixture and press it till it's even on the surface and tight. Knock out the biscuit (you got to try a few round to get the right strength when knocking out the cookies) and place it onto the tray (don't need to leave big gap between cookies because it won't expand).
- Once the whole tray is filled with almond cookies, bake it for 15 to 20 minutes till light golden colour and remove to cool.
That's it! Easy right?
