Recipe of Almond Cookies

Ingredients:

·                   Maida or white flour: 300 g

·       Baking powder: 1 ½ tbsp

·       Butter: 150 g

·       Sugar powder: 200 g

·       Milk: 1 tbsp

·       Almond: 150 g

Method:

Take a deep bowl. Mix the maida and baking powder in the bowl. Take 20 to 25 almonds and soak them for 2 hrs and keep aside. Grind rest of the almonds. Cut each soaked almonds into two pieces. Take another big bowl and put butter in it. Now heat it to melt and add sugar. Whisk the mixture. Add maida and keep on whisking till it becomes smooth. Now add milk and ground almond into the mixture and knead it to make dough. 

Grease the tray with butter. Take small portion of the dough, roll it into a round ball, keep it between your palms and press it lightly. Place half chopped almond at the center on the top of each cookie and keep it on the tray. Now prepare rest of the cookies in the same manner. While placing the cookies in the tray make sure that sufficient distance is maintained between two cookies.

Preheat the oven at 180°C. Put the tray into the oven for 15 minutes set at 180°C. Now check the cookies whether it has turned light-brown from the upper surface and dark–brown from the sides. In case the desired colour is not found then bake them another 5 minutes (be cautious about over baking). Take out the tray and let the cookies cool down.

Egg-less almond cookies are ready. Serve or store in an air-tight container for future use.
