Directions
Chinese Almond Cookies, This recipe is by Sou Chan. This recipe seems to be a little more authentic then other recipes I have come across. A little extra work but well worth it. Cookie yield will depend on size. Preparation time includes blanching and roasting almonds. You can grind the almonds in the food processor to a somewhat fine consistency. (not powdered) How to’s to blanch and roast almonds listed at the end of the recipe., Not rating, as I had to use Smart Balance light to make it dairy free. I have premade blanched almond flour, so measured 2 cups. Also used sorghum instead of rice flour. I did have to add a few drops of water and didn’t use the roasted almonds (DD doesn’t like them). I didn’t press flat, as I felt they would fall apart. Maybe if I added a little more butter it would help that, as 2 cups of flour is probably more than 2 cups almonds, ground. DD liked them, but we both felt they needed something, maybe more sugar? Will try again with a little more butter and sugar, as I want to find good GF cookies., Not rating, as I had to use Smart Balance light to make it dairy free.
