Almond Cookies
Posted by JasonQ in Cakes/Desserts on August 13th, 2009
- 2 1/2 cups all−purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup margarine or butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp almond essence
- blanched almonds for decoration
- beaten egg for glazing
1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Cream the margarine
(or butter) and sugar together until light, white and fluffy. Beat in the egg
and almond essence. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients to make a stiff
dough.
2. Form the mixture into balls about 1 − 1.5 inch diameter and place these
on a greased baking tray. Place half an almond (split lengthways) on
each ball and press to flatten slightly. Brush with beaten egg.
3. Bake in a moderate oven (350 deg F / 180 deg C) for 20 minutes or
until golden. Cool on a wire rack. This quantity makes about 45
biscuits.
