Almond Cookies

Cookies are an all time favorite and I too love baking them and eating them (of course ;-)). They are very simple to make. Store them in an airtight container for a month and relish every bit of it.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
All purpose flour (Maida): 1 cup
Almond: 1/2 cup
Sugar: ½ cup
Ghee or unsalted butter: ¼ cup
Baking Powder: 1 tsp
Baking Soda: ½ tsp

Method:

1. Take one tbsp of almonds and slightly dry roast them. Half them.
2. Grind the remaining almonds coarsely.
3. Take ghee and sugar in a plate and with your hands mix them until light and fluffy.

4. Add maida, baking powder, baking soda and almonds and knead it into soft dough.
5. If the mixture is too crumbly you can add little milk.

6. Take small portions of dough and make balls and flatten them.
7. Put half almond pieces on them.

8. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
9. Grease a baking tray and arrange the cookies on them.
10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they turn brown.
11. Take out the tray and let the cookies cool down.

12. Remove the cookies from the tray and store them in an airtight container.
13. Enjoy them with tea, coffee etc.

Tips:
1. You can add flavors like cardamom, cinnamon etc.
2. When the cookies are hot, they are very soft, so don’t remove the cookies from the tray instantly. Let them cool a little bit.
