Almond Cookies 杏仁曲奇
These Almond cookies are crispy and yet will also melt-in-your mouth. This is an easy recipe as you just need to mix all the ingredients together by hand and then use a cookie cutter to stamp out the desired shapes, then bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
These sweet and salty cookies are full of almond flavour and the almond nibs give an added crunch, thus making them addictive. This is one of my favourite snacks and it is also great to serve these cookies during the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays.
In order to save time using cooke cutter, you can roll the dough into small balls (about 10g each) and bake for about 16 minutes
为了节省时间，可将面团搓成小圆球，约10克一粒 – 烤约16分钟即可

Thanks

Hi Ms Low, can I use butter in this recipe
Hi Marie, yes you can use melted salted butter in this recipe.
Hi Ms Low…. may I know why is my mixture not able to form into a dough? Thank you.
Hi Kelly, Did you use a blender or cake mixer to mix the mixture or you changed the ingredient a bit because I can see in your pic there are some lumps in it.
I used hand ..
But I used Brown Sugar(blended it fine)
to replace icing sugar.
Thanks.
That was the cause of using brown sugar. Icing sugar is powder form and it will melts quickly while mixing the ingredients together.
Hi Ms. Low, Thank you for your exciting recipe! Can I use Olive Oil or Grapeseed oil instead of corn oil? Will it turn out different?
Thanks! Faye
Hi Faye, Is better to use vegetable oil as olive oil will overcome the ground almond.
