Almond Cookies Recipe And Health Benefits
1. Thirsty For Tea Macau Almond Cookies

These eggless white almond cookies are packed with the aroma of nutty almonds, and crunchy texture. They are incredibly easy to put together and do not need any special kitchen gadget.

These popular Chinese New Year cookies get their name from the pale whitish appearance after baking. The white almond cookies also have almond flakes (or we called it sliced almonds here in the U.S) added to the cookie dough, no baking soda and/or baking powder and egg wash are used. The traditional Chinese almond cookies usually use ground almonds (almond flour), dotted with a whole almond or slice almond on top and then brushed with egg wash before baking so they have a golden brown appearance.

1. Toast the sliced almonds on a dry pan until lightly golden brown over medium-low heat. Remove and let them cool down completely

You can also toast them in the oven by spreading them evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350 F preheated oven for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool down completely

2. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C) for a conventional oven. Lower the temperature by 20 degrees if you have a convection oven. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.

5. Place the cookie dough in between two parchment papers and use a rolling pin to roll it out to about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick

6. Use a 1.5-2 inch round cookie cutter and cut the dough out as closely as possible (so you don’t have to re-roll the scrape dough too many times later). I don’t have a cookie-cutter that size, so I just use a 1-inch nozzle tip as my cookie cutter

7. Place the cut dough on a prepared baking sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. They don’t expand much. Gather the scrape dough and flatten again and repeat the same step above

8. Bake in a preheated oven on the middle rack for about 30 minutes if your cookies are about 1.5-2 inch in diameter. For a small 1-inch like mine, I baked for 20 minutes. The top should be kinda pale in color and the bottom is just lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool down on the pan completely

1. I use super-fine almond flour. If you ground your own almond flour, make sure they are skinless and grind them as fine as possible

2. I recommend using peanut oil as it really brings out the aroma of the cookies even more, but of course, you can use any neutral-tasting cooking oil as you wish
