杏福满满/Happiness Almond Balls

 

Early this year, I tried baking Chinese New Year cookies for the first time in my life. I am a novice in baking hence I began my 'trial and error' journey baking the pineapple tarts and almond cookies :P Glad to say, feedbacks from friends and family were positive :) I have already shared the pineapple tart recipe and here's the almond cookie recipes as requested. There are 2 almond cookie recipes that I'm going to share with you here, of which 1 of them is an easy and fuss-free 5-ingredient recipe.

 

For the 杏福花开/Flower-Shaped Almond cookies, the recipe was adapted from Food Manna and the below is the recipe for 杏福满满/Happiness Almond Balls.

 

This recipe yields roughly 55 pieces (using 1/2 tbs of dough)

 

Ingredients:

- 225g of self-raising flour

- 90g of fine castor sugar

- 120g of ground almond

- 120g of diced almond

- 150g of corn oil

1) Sift the flour and add in the sugar, ground almond and diced almond. Mix well.

2) Add in the oil and knead to form a dough.

3) Take half a tablespoon of the dough and roll into a ball. If it's too crumbly, simple knead the dough in your palm with a clench fist action prior to rolling them gently into shape. 

4) Place them in small paper cases and bake in pre-heated oven at 160-180c for 15mins.

5) Cool completely on rack before storing them away.

 

Enjoy!
