THIN, CRISP ALMOND COOKIES



Thin, Crisp Almond Cookies image

Very thin and especially crisp. The dough must be chilled at least 4 hours prior to baking or it can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight. Turbinado sugar, like brown sugar but paler and dryer, gives these cookies a golden color and crunch and can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Adapted from "Sweet Miniatures".

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 4h10m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, at room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
  • Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a log 1 ½-inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and chill for 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. Cut the logs into ¼-inch thick slices and place 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; until lightly colored.
  • Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to grind the almonds into a fine almond butter. This will help the cookies hold together better.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender. Just be sure to blend the almonds until they are very finely ground.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more almond butter.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

These crispy almond butter thins are a delicious and healthy snack. They are made with wholesome ingredients and are naturally gluten-free and grain-free. They are also a good source of protein and fiber. Enjoy these cookies as a snack, dessert, or even a breakfast treat!
