Almond Filled Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 250 g flour
- 100 g dark brown caster sugar
- 150 g butter
- 1 tsp gingerbread spice
- 1 pinch baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- splash of milk
Ingredients for the filling
- 100 g almonds
- 100 g sugar
- 1 egg
Preparation
- Add almonds into a blender and grind well. Mix with the sugar and add a little egg until you have a cohesive mixture. Pack in a sandwich bag and put it in the fridge.
- Make the dough by mixing the flour with the sugar, baking powder, salt, gingerbread spices and butter. Rub into a crumble. Then add a little milk until you have a cohesive dough and let it rest in a plastic bag in the fridge for half an hour.
- After resting, roll out the dough to about half a cm thick (sprinkle your work surface with flour first). Cut out 20 circles.
- Place 10 circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Divide your almond paste into 10 equal pieces and make a ball of it. Press slightly flat into a disc and place a disc of almond paste on each dough slice. Place a slice of dough on top and press the edges with a fork.
- Press half an almond into each cake and brush the cakes with beaten egg yolk. Bake them in a preheated oven at 175 degrees (convection 160) for about 25 minutes until golden brown and done. Let them cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy!
