I made this Crunchy Almond cookies that specially for my husband who prefer crunchy and nutty type of cookie than those flaky and melt-in-mouth cookie. After gaining the experiences from the 4 failed attempted of dragon cookies, this time, it only took me two times to succeed in making this cookie that suit my husband's taste.
One thing i want to highlight in this recipe, do not omit the salt. Because you should be able to taste the saltiness after you finished a cookie (this is the taste of what my husband wants !), and the cookie taste even better after kept it for 1-2days..
If you want more nutty aroma, you may want to add some almond nibbles...And this cookie is "Eggless' too !

these look yummy. Yesterday I had some "almond crunch". At least that is what the lady call it la. Something like biscontti but thinner. Very nice.
This is nice, Sonia. They look awesome although it's eggless :)
As long as it's not chewy type, I love them all ^_^
This looks like a simple, delicious cookie. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely cookies! Too bad. Already stop my cookies bakes. Have to wait for next year :D

Hi Sonia,
Very nice cookies indeed. Very sorry to comment but isn't 5 cm a little too much for the cookies' thickness?
Shirlynn
Shirlynn, sorry, typo error, not realized 5cm is so thick, hahaha, it should be around 1cm..
These sound great, Sonia. They look really tiny too. Are they bite-size cookies? (I LOVE tiny dessert snacks!)
Hi Sonia, this looks good. I'm done with cookie baking so I'll leave this recipe for next year..Thanks for sharing.
I love your almond cookies! Looks delicious and I'm afraid I can keep eating this... =)
Thank you for the recipe, I baked them this morning as CNY nibbles for my husband and he loved them. I added a flaked almond to the top.
Hi... what is almond meal??
i love all your creative cookies Sonia! will definitely try this one - i love almond cookies!
My mum's friend gave us a tin of almond flakes britters. We finish the britters the same day. I am sure we will do the same for your almond cookies.
What type of butter to use? Salted or unsalted butter? If use salted butter, do I still need to add the salt? Pls advise.
Anne, I used salted butter. Yes you still need to add salt even though you use salted butter, the special of this cookie is the hint of salt after bite.
Thanks for the info. Do I need to leave the dough to rest or freeze the dough before I cut out the pattern and bake? I check through other website and state that the cookies will taste better if leave to rest or freeze the dough. Can I do the same here?
Hi,
your cookies look yummy.
any idea where to buy almond meal
?
i have tried to buy in NTUC and cold storage but unable to find it.
Hi joysnow2010,
You may want to try buying it from Phoon Huat baking store. All kinds of baking needs are available at one stop. All the best.
Hi Nasi Lemak Lover, thanks so much for sharing this recipe. the ingredients are few and method is straightforward, just the kind of recipe I love :) Best of all, the taste is great! I made a batch this morning. I ran out of corn flour so I substituted part of it with yellow cornmeal, and the cookies taste great :)
Hi Sonia, i baked this cookie today & it tasted great. However during baking, the cookie didnt retain its shape & expanded by quite a lot.. Also the dough was so soft that it was not possible to use a cookie cutter & I shaped with my hands.. Are these normal, or did i do something wrong?
Yvonne, maybe you reduce temp to 160C and see. This dough is soft but still can be handle, if this is your case, then you store in the fridge for a while to harden it a bit before shaping.
Thanks Sonia. I ended up weighing & handrolling the dough & it worked for me. Baked a 2nd time & added 50g chopped almonds, tastes even better. Than you for sharing your recipe. :-)
Thanks Sonia ! This is the PERFECT crunchy almond cookies for me. Definitely a keeper ! I toasted the almond meal and almond nibs prior to adding to the dough.. ended up with super crunchy and nutty cookies.
I'm trying to 'beautify' the cookies using cookie plunger, but due to the coarse almond meal and almond nibs, it doesn't have the smooth edges.

Interesting recipe as didn't know that almond cookies use corn flour instead of all purpose flour / cake flour.
Can I substitute butter wit olive oil.
Hi, If no corn flour can use plain flour to replace?
