The Cookie Story

If you read my Cardamom Cookies post, i mentioned that i m baking few samples for my New Year Goodie bags for my friends and family. Today's eggless almond cookies with whole wheat flour and almond meal is part of that bake sample.

This almond cookie recipe is again a decade old recipe in the blog, which is getting a much needed renovation with new content and pictures. In my previous cookie recipes, I have used Crisco instead of butter because I believed shortening was a healthier option for baking. I thought it would lead to a healthier final product.

Now, after learning about food, nutrition and with age, i prefer to cook with butter and ghee than other fats. Another reason, Why i m redoing my old recipes, making them again, with better ingredients and more tastier.

Ingredients to make Almond Cookies

• Flour : I have used a combination of whole wheat flour and almond meal to make these buttery almond cookies.
• Sugar : I have used white sugar to sweeten these crunchy almond cookies. You can use brown sugar too.
• Fat : Butter, just butter, no doubts on that. If vegan, pls substitute accordingly.

• Spices : I have used a good amount of cardamom in this eggless cookie. You can go ahead add a dash of cinnamon or a pinch of ginger and nutmeg and make it a spiced cookie.
• Liquid : I have used full fat milk to make the whole wheat cookie dough. You even use water or plant based milk, since the liquid is just 2 tbsp.
• Toppings : I have used almond silvers as toppings, you can also use almond flakes and give a crunchy top to the cookie.
