almond shortbread cookies recipe

Almond shortbread cookies recipe  is one of the easiest cookie you can bake for this festive season.It is just like shortbread cookies with almond flavour.As mittu is fond of shortbread cookies, I make it every now and then.And the fact that these cookies come out well even without any rising agents like baking powder and soda, pushes me to try different varieties of them.

The dough can be stored in the fridge,you can bake them whenever needed.These cookies makes a great gifting idea for Christmas.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cup butter
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 tsp almond essence

Instructions

  • Soak almonds in hot water for 30mins, peel off the skin.Toast them for few mins until brown spots appear here and there.Set aside to cool.
  • Grind toasted almonds with sugar to a fine powder (as fine as possible).Set  aside. In a mixing bowl - add butter.
  • Beat it , then add almond essence.I used my hand mixer.
  • Add almond sugar mixture, whisk again then add flour.
  • Beat it, once the flour starts to come together stop beating..Use a spatula to bring together.Now use your finger tips to make a dough, do not knead.
  • Cling wrap it and refrigerate atleast for 1 hour. If you want  slice and bake cookies, roll into a log and refrigerate.I preferred cut out cookies so rolled between parchment paper.Use any of your favourite cookie cutter.
  • Cut shapes,carefully separate them.Collect the scrapes then roll over again, repeat until you finish the dough.
  • Lay parchment paper on the baking tray.Arrange the cookies on it.Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 10-12 mins or until the edges start to brown. It will be soft when taken out, after cooling it becomes crispy so don't be tempted to overbake.

Notes

  • You can have this as a basic cookie recipe and have many variations, like you can make as plain vanilla cookies or add choco chips etc.
  • When its out from the oven, it will be soft later it will harden and become crisp so don't be tempted to bake more than the mentioned time
  • You can replace almond essence with vanilla essence too.

    Hi Sharmi,
    I need your suggestion.
    I face issue while baking biscuits sometimes. it doesn’t hold shape. during baking it loses its shape. is that because of way too much beating of butter? share some tips to hold the shape. i love different shapes of biscuit rather than usual round one.

      if the dough is goey then it may spread out and loose its shape depends on recipe too…if they are cut out cookies then you can refrigerate the dough before cutting this way it will surely hold its shape.
