Almond cookies

The girls were busy making some Chinese New Year cookies, almond cookies this afternoon. The recipe that I referred to is actually for peanut cookies. Since there are no peanuts at home, we substitude the peanut with almond. The girls spent almost an hour on making the almond cookies. They enjoyed the session very much as they are allowed to help up.

Made by ES.

 Our final product. It is easy to made, yet delicious and melting in your mouth ( Do not overbake it. If not, it will become harden. )

We also received a chinese new year greeting card from Su Wei auntie this afternoon. Thank you!

1. Combine almond, all purpose flour and sugar. Add in oil gradually to become a soft dough, like the dough for making tang yuan.
2. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and put them on the baking sheets, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. If you like, put a little decorative stamp on top. I used the measuring spoon!
