Tips:

  • Use almond paste instead of almond flour: Almond paste is made from finely ground almonds and sugar, and it gives the cookies a richer, more flavorful taste. If you can't find almond paste, you can make your own by grinding almonds and sugar together in a food processor until it forms a smooth paste.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps it to firm up and makes it easier to work with. This will also help the cookies to hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Keep an eye on them in the oven and take them out as soon as they are done.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cookies.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can top the cookies with a variety of things, such as powdered sugar, melted chocolate, or chopped nuts. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Almond triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is filled with almond paste and then baked until golden brown. The cookies are then frosted with a simple glaze and topped with your favorite toppings. Almond triangles are a great way to use up leftover almond paste, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
