Recipe Introduction

There are Chinese bakeries all over the US. And one of the Middle Kingdom's baked goods that is recognizable to most Americans is the Chinese almond cookie. These delicate, golden cookies provide a subtle-sweet taste to contrast with some of the spicier Chinese cuisine. Forget your fortune; these particular cookies have blanched almond slivers in them, which are far tastier than little slips of paper!

HOME COOKIN’ 04/09/2011 National Almond Cookie Day Thin Crispy Almond Cookie



Thin Crispy Almond Cookie


125g powdered sugar
15g high gluten flour
25g low gluten flour
50g butter, melted
3 egg whites
150g almond slices


Recipe



In a medium bowl, sift each flour. Sift the powdered sugar as well, to make sure they don’t clump together.

In a separate small bowl, separate the egg white from the folk.

Add egg whites and melted butter to the flour/sugar mix.

Stir in almond slices gently into the batter with a rubber spatula.

On a large rectangular baking sheet, lined with either a non-stick silicone mat or greased foil (foil greased with butter, oil or Pam)

Spread the batter onto the baking sheet – make sure it is a thin layer and that the almond slices don’t all stack on top of each other.

Bake at 300F for about 20-30 minutes, checking half way, until golden brown.

Cut into square pieces of desirable size. Best to use a pizza cutter, or you can use a knife or break with your fingers.
