I like almond cookies. So, definitely this is my "to-bake list". I first saw this recipe posted in Aunty Young's post and really felt very encouraged when she replied my comment "since you have bookmarked few recipes then start to bake! Don't let me be alone. Come on, more people more merrier !"
I'm so motivated and immersed in the festive mood now! Especially after I've baked Pork Floss Cookies, Sesame Peanut Butter Cookies and the recent Pineapple Tarts ... really starting the 'dough' rolling for the more the merrier in baking CNY cookies !

Almond Cookies (杏仁酥）
Ingredients (Yields about 58 pcs)
110g almond powder (I used Almond blanched powder superfined)
165g cake flour
50g icing sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
85g corn oil
Egg wash : 1 egg yolk + 1 tsp water as I preferred lighter colour.
Method :
Mix ingredients together, then pour in corn oil and knead into a dough.
Divide the dough into 8g each, shape them into balls (grease your palm if necessary) and arrange on baking tray.
Brush with egg yolk, then spinkle some chopped almond on top.
Preheat oven at 160°C, bake for 20 minutes.
* the oven temperature may vary, do adjust accordingly.
Done ! It took me slightly more than hour to finish baking this batch of almond cookies.
My big kids commented that these cookies tasted soft, very nice and full of almond fragrance too.
Well, another easy to bake but yummy-licious CNY cookies ^-^!

ReplyDeleteThanks Cathleen.
DeleteOh wow, Karen! You are such the baker, lol...I must pass this recipe on to my daughter via Pinterest. She baked my grandson Almon Butter Cookies with Maple syrup and he had an allergy reaction to the Maple syrup. Perhaps he will be able to eat these. (he has had his peanut butter taken away from him while he is being tested:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Karen...Can't wait to see what next on your baking list:)
Hi Louise, you're welcome!
DeleteMy girl was allergy to peanut & egg when she was toddler but had outgrown it.
This almond cookie is easy to attempt and leave out the egg wash if he's allergy to egg.
My daughter said next time she bakes almond cookies, she is going to try this recipe minus the egg wash. Thanks again, Karen...
DeleteHi Karen,I also wish to have a magic wand too,too many cookies have to bake but still not finish yet..haha
ReplyDeleteHee hee Fion, happy baking but don't stress yourself too much ok.
DeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteIf you have the magic wand, I would like to borrow from you! LOL!
I am not making cookies this year, maybe one, as I am totally short of time. Got to fetch the kids to and from school, and with their extra activities and classes, I am rushing to cook on most days! It's one pot pasta meal for dinner today!
Your cookies looks great, and am making me wish I have the time to bake some cookies!!!
Hi Joyce,
DeleteThanks. I understand as I've been through this stage too. I'm baking small quantity for the family. Can't bake too many on weekends as I've got the weekend household chores to do. Ya really wish to have a magic wand lol :)
A magic wand! That will come in handy. Although I don't have to ferry kids to school, I too bake in small quantities, prefer different types rather than quantity. Your almond cookies look sooo good!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheah, yes agree and got more variety of cookies to enjoy.
DeleteThanks for your compliment ^-^!
Hi Karen lovely cookies! If you ever find that wand that goes DING and cookies appear, please tell me! :P
