Baking with Arsy: Almond Cookies
7:55 AMA few weeks ago I bought a kilo of almonds... What does one do with a kilo of almonds? My first thought, almond cookies!
It was a pretty productive morning. Got up at 9:30am, went for a jog, injured my shins, dragged my ass back home and made cookies.
First melted half a stick of butter
Gathered me ingredients!
Sugar, butter, egg, almond essence, baking powder, salt and flour!
Melted the butter
Put in the sugar
Flour, baking powder, egg, salt and essence
Put into boiling water for 2-3 minutes
Left in cold water until cool to handle
Peel em' babies up
Feelin' abit exposed
All nekkids
Divided up the dough into balls
Squash down with a fork *me thinking they won't expand any further*
Chopped up almonds
Embellished em
Leftovers to nom
Egg white (big boo boo not to mix this with water.. you'll see....)
Lathered in egg white
Popped into the oven
Annd... out of the oven....
The overloaded egg white turned into cooked egg white... lol whoops
All fat and perty!
Make em' perty on my $1 plate
Prettiest colour!
Packed in a bag for my mate to bring along with em!
The almond cookies weren't too shabby. If I were to make some changes, I would put less butter and maybe oil? And definitely more almond essence... And toast the almond pieces instead!
Hehe, bye!
