Chocolate Almond Cookies

Turn it into a little gift, simple and nice!

Ingredients A

250g butter 120g icing sugar (I used 90g) 1 egg 1 egg yolk 1/2 tsp vanilla Ingredients B 300g plain flour, sifted 200g ground almond 200g toasted wholed almond, halved ** Use wholed blanch almond instead of skinned almond. I tried skin almond and it's not as good as wholed blanch almond. Decoration: 100pcs small paper cups 500g cooking chocolate, melted / semi sweet chocolate 150g toasted nibbed almond Method:

  1. Cream A till well-combined. Mix in B to form soft dough. Shape into small balls and wrap up half almond. Bake at 180C till golden brown. Remove and leave to cool
  2. Decoration: Place cookies into small paper cups, cover cookie with melted semi sweet chocolate and spinkle some nibbed amond on top. Chill in the fridge to set the chocolate before storing in a container.

    Hi Grace,
    Thanks for sharing the recipe for this chocolate almond cookies. It's really very nice. You know, I gave one to my neighbour's 1+ year son, he loved it so much. The following day, he saw me, he asked for "mum mum" already! Hahaha... Thanks for your cookies, now he likes to see me...and ask for your cookies! ;)

    Hi Yummy Koh,
    I used semi-sweet chocolate. This chocolate will set at room temperature without melting. After filling the chocolate into the cookie cups. Chill in the fridge until set then keep at room temperature will do. Cheers!

    Hi Kitchen Corner,

    Your cookies look very pretty!
    Can I know how long should I bake the cookies? And how do you toast the almonds? And just to clarify, the recipe calls for egg yolk only is it?
