Yes, it's about twelve weeks till Christmas time. I decided to start this up again since I had so much fun with it last year. This recipe is originally from The Vegan Table, but I have adapted it a little since I am not vegan. I really love these cookies and it will be a recipe that I'll make time and time again. I took a couple to work and a workmate commented that they looked and tasted so Christmassy without me even telling her they were baked with Christmas in mind. The almond extract really gives it a distinct almond flavour and I love the spices. They're also incredibly easy to make. Enjoy!
Chai-Spiced Almond Cookies
113g butter, softened
30g icing/powdered sugar + more for dusting
1 cup coconut flour
1 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinammon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
Cream butter and sugar. Add extracts and spices and beat in well. Sift in coconut flour and beat again. Add in almond flour and mix in with a metal spoon. Roll dough into tablespoon-ful balls on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees celcius. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before rolling in icing sugar.

I love anything almond so this looks like a good recipe for me! I think this will be a fun blog hop!
ReplyDeleteThese look lovely, but did you leave the sugar out of this recipe?
ReplyDeleteAlex - nope. It has 30g in the cookies (creamed with the butter). Most of the sweetness comes from the coating of powdered sugar that you roll have rolled the cookies in.
