Eggless Almond Cookies

I recently came across Jamie Oliver’s Almond and pine nut cookies recipe in a magazine. I didn’t have eggs and pine nuts at home. Yet I wanted to try the cookies! So I tweaked the recipe and made my version of “Eggless almond cookies”.

I have used honey in the recipe. Feel free to use golden syrup if you don’t like honey.

Time Taken: 20 min
Serves: 20 cookies

Ingredients:

All purpose flour: 1 cup
Almond: 1 cup
Butter: 8 tbsp (120 gm melted)
Light brown sugar: 1/4 cup
Sugar: 1/4 cup
Pure vanilla extract: 1 tbsp
Honey: 1 tbsp
Baking powder: 1/4 tsp
Salt: 1/8 tsp

Preparation Method:

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Spread almonds on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until they begin to color slightly.
• Save a handful of nuts and blitz the rest to coarse crumbs.
• Mix flour, butter, sugars, honey, vanilla extract and nut crumbs.
• Blend until nice and smooth.
• Chop the remaining nuts and add it to the dough.
• Line the baking tray with parchment paper.
• Take a spoonful of dough and press it slightly to form round cookies.
• Place the cookies on baking tray such that they are at least 1 inch apart.
• Bake them for 16-18 minutes or until it turns golden in color.
• Once done allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
• Enjoy the eggless almond cookies with milk/tea.

It is perfectly fine if the cookies are soft in the middle when you take them off the oven. They will harden as they cool.
