Almond Cookies

These Almond Cookies are so additive, you can just pop into your mouth one after another, without realizing how much you have eaten, as they are deliciously yummy!  


Ingredients:

(A)

140g. plain flour (sifted)

130g. almond meal

30g. cornflour (sifted)

2 tsp. baking powder (sifted)

1/4 tsp. salt

50g. icing sugar (sifted)


(B)

100-120g. corn oil (depending on texture of the dough)


(C)

Egg wash - 1 egg yolk, diluted with 1-2 tsp. milk


(D)  Garnishing - almond nibs


Methods:

  1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients in (A) with a hand whisk until well combined.
  2. Drizzle corn oil, little by little into the dry mixture.  Use hand to combine the mixture until it forms a dough.  To test, take a small portion of the dough, roll it into ball between your palms, and if it doesn't fall apart, the dough is ready.  You might not use all the oil.
  3. Roll out the dough, cut out using a cookie cutter (dust with a bit of flour, so it won't stick), and place the cookies on a lined baking sheet.  Use a brush to apply egg wash over the top of each cookies, and garnish with some almond nibs.  
  4. Bake in a preheated oven of 150 degree Celsius for 15 minutes, until the top is golden.  Remove cookies from oven and repeat with the remaining cookies.  Store cookies in an airtight container.

I adapted this recipe from 'food-4tots.com' with a very slight adjustment to suit my baking preference.
