Eggless Almond Cookies
Almond cookies are a soft and light delight. It is a definite look alike to the food joints. THe best thing is they are egg less cookies.
Ingredients
Wheat Flour - We use whole wheat flour for the Almond cookies. Gives a beautiful golden hue.
Almond Flour - You can use Almond flour or just homemade almond powder. I have tried both and both works well.
Baking soda and Salt - Gives crisp and flavorful cookies.
Butter - Use soft unsalted room-temperature butter. If using salted butter, you can skip adding salt.
Sugar - Use powdered sugar for smooth finish cookies.
Almond - I like to garnish my cookies with a whole almond it gives a perfect finish.
Vanilla - Use vanilla extract for flavor or you can also use Almond extract.Milk - Use milk only if needed. Add milk if the dough is not coming together you can skip.
FAQ's
Usually, cookies fall apart for 2 reasons. One is they don't have enough fat. Fat is one ingredient that binds the cookies and keeps them together in shape. If cookies don't have enough fat cookies can crumble.
Butter, Vegetable oil or shortening agents are the fat ingredients that are usually added to cookies.
The other reason why cookies can crumble is the cookies are soft immediately after baking. Once it cools down it gets its shape and stays intact. Hence avoid touching the cookies while they are still hot out of the oven.
When cookies have Almond flour added they tend to spread a bit more. Make sure you leave enough space in your baking tray to expand while baking goodies that have almond flour.
How to make Almond Cookies
Sieve together whole wheat flour, Baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
To this add Almond Flour.
Combine everything and set it aside.
In another mixing bowl add powdered sugar and soft unsalted butter.
Cream the sugar and butter together until mixed.
Add the creamed sugar and butter to the flour mixture and mix everything. It resembles a crumble now.
Add the vanilla extract.
Also if required add milk.
Combine and bring everything together to a smooth dough.
Wrap the dough with a cling wrap and let it sit in the fridge for 30 mins.
After 30 mins pinch in a small portion and flatten them to cookie shape. I placed an Almond in the center.
Line a Baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the cookies over it.
Preheat the oven to 180 C / 356 F for 10 mins. Bake at 356F/ 180 C for 15-17 mins. The cookies may look soft once they come out of the oven. They become crisp as it cools down. Let the cookies cool down completely and then store them.
