I have lots of bookmark recipes which I collected from past one year :).
These Almond Cookies are adopted from Simply Spicy's blog and again did few modifications & posting here. In the source recipe normal suger is used but I used brown suger and almond with skin. I must say it was a great experience for me :). I love cookies which contains almond :). I could not stop myself eating them again n again. They last only for two days :). My hubby too loved them so much. So far this was the best cookies we liked :). Cookies count will depend on the size.
I could make 18 cookies with the below ingredients.
Ingredients: 15-20 Cookies
1 Cup all purpose flour/maida
1 Cup almond coarsely powdered with/without the skin (ur choice)
½ Cup frozen/fresh coconut grated
½ Cup butter
½ Cup brown sugar
Some almond for decoration
Method: Preheat the oven at 300 F. Mix all the ingredients together in bowl. This will become like a dough. Now make small balls of the dough, pat it and place them on
baking tray. Grease the tray before hand. There should be some space between the each cookies as they expand during baking.
I always forget to do this and later my cookies comes out sticking to each other :)). Decorate each cookies with the almond by placing it in the middle of cookie. Bake for 20 minutes or untill you see bottom of the cookie turns golden in color. Remove from the oven and dont try to remove them from the tray. As they are very soft to touch immediately after coming out of oven let them cool a bit and then transfer them on the rack or newspaper :). And now cookies are ready to eat :).
