CHEWY ALMOND MACAROON BISCUITS



Chewy almond macaroon biscuits image

Rustle up these easy almond cookies. Popular for Passover, they're dairy and gluten free. You can also add a little cinnamon to turn them into cinnamon balls, if you like

Provided by Victoria Prever

Categories     Dessert, Snack

Time 40m

Yield Makes 20-25

Number Of Ingredients 6

225g ground almonds
120g caster sugar
2 egg whites
20 blanched almonds (optional)
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the ground almonds and sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then add to the almond and sugar mixture. Stir well - it will form a slightly sticky mixture but should hold its shape.
  • Wet your hands lightly and roll a heaped teaspoon of the mixture into a ball between your palms - it should be about 4cm in diameter. Put on the tray and flatten slightly with wet fingers to a thick disc, leaving at least 3cm between each biscuit. Press a blanched almond into each one, if you like.
  • Bake for 18-20 mins until just starting to turn golden around the edges, then remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. You want them to have a chewy, soft centre and the darker they get the harder the middle will be.
  • To make cinnamon balls, add the cinnamon to the almonds and sugar before you add the egg white. When shaping, leave them as balls. Bake for 18-20 mins - you want them to stay soft in the centre. While they are still warm, put them gently in a bowl of icing sugar and turn to coat. Leave until completely cooled.

BUTTERY ALMOND COOKIES



Buttery Almond Cookies image

Made with high-fat, cultured butter, these melt-in-your-mouth almond cookies are like the most tender shortbread you've ever eaten. A simple confectioners' sugar icing and a sliced almond topping make them especially pretty, but you can skip the garnish for something sleeker and simpler. Or use them to make sandwich cookies, filling them with the likes of lemon curd, raspberry jam or melted chocolate.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough
1/3 cup/38 grams almond flour
1/4 cup/30 grams cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/227 grams salted cultured butter, at room temperature (see Tip)
2/3 cup/130 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup/56 grams salted cultured butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons buttermilk or whole milk, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Toasted sliced almonds, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together flours, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and granulated sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and almond extract until combined, about 20 seconds. With the mixer running on low, add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Divide dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log. (If the dough is too soft to work with, chill it for 20 to 30 minutes before forming it into logs.) Wrap logs tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Use large, sharp knife to cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until cookie edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 15 to 22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the icing: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 1 tablespoon buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts. If the icing isn't thin enough to drizzle, add more buttermilk. It should be a little thicker than heavy cream.
  • Using a fork, drizzle icing all over the cooled cookies, then top with almond slices if you like. Let the icing set for at least 1 hour, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. The cookies will keep for at least 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother dough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Almond biscuit cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cookies that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these almond biscuit cookies a try!
