LITTLE ALMOND COOKIES

These delicate snow-dusted Mexican cookies are rich, crumbly and melt in the mouth

Provided by Thomasina Miers

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Treat

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 40 small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

50g whole almond
100g soft butter
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp dark rum
140g-175g plain flour , plus extra for rolling out
icing sugar , to serve (about 100g)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3 and roast the almonds for 5-10 mins until they are a pale golden colour. Cream together the butter, sugar, rum and a pinch of salt, then add the flour until the dough just comes together - it will be soft. Roughly chop the almonds and add them to the dough. Carefully roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to a 4-5mm thickness and cut out small cookies roughly 3-4cm across. Freeze the cookies on a baking sheet for 20 mins to harden.
  • Bake the cookies in the oven for about 20 mins until just set - they will still be very pale. Lay out on a wire rack and dust icing sugar on both sides while they are still warm, being careful not to break them as you turn them. The icing sugar will melt. When they are cool, sprinkle them extremely generously with more icing sugar so that they are completely white. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

LITTLE ALMOND-BUTTER COOKIES



Little Almond-Butter Cookies image

My favorite butter cookie. They're delicate in form and flavor. So simple, they're great for beginner bakers. Tiny little cookies can be sandwiched with a favorite jam if you like. They're so tender you'll lose a few in the process but the pieces taste good too.

Time 2h15m

Yield 60-72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar

  • Remove from cookie sheet immediately and cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients, especially the butter and eggs. This will help the cookies bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These little almond butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a slightly nutty flavor. The best part is that they are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy cookie recipe, give these little almond butter cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
