Detaljer Almond Cookies
You'll often find a jar of these scrumptious Almond Cookies on the counter at Detaljer - Knutsford's Scandinavian coffee shop & lifestyle store.
Baked in-house, they're the perfect mixture of soft & chewy on the inside with a firmer exterior and the added crunch of almonds on top.
As these Almond Cookies have become my treat of choice when I'm looking for something sweet to accompany a delicious Detaljer coffee, the wonderful team have kindly given me the recipe to share with you all.
Detaljer Almond Cookies are gluten free, dairy free, and really simple to make. So if you fancy trying out the recipe at home, here's how to bake a batch.
Detaljer Almond Cookie Recipe
Makes 17 Almond Cookies
Ingredients
- 375g almond flour
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 3 egg whites
- 40g flaked almonds
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C (160C Fan)
- Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Spread the flaked almonds out over one of the prepared baking trays (alternatively spread them out on a large plate)
- Add the almond flour, caster sugar and almond extract to a large bowl
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until fluffy, then add these to the ingredients in the large bowl
- Using a spatula, combine all the ingredients until you have a smooth dough
- Scoop up 40g of the mixture, roll it into a ball, then push the ball down gently on to the flaked almonds, until you have a thick disc shape and some of the almonds have stuck to the dough.
- Place onto the baking sheet, then repeat until you've used up all of the dough. This recipe makes 17 cookies.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the almond cookies are a light golden brown.
- Leave for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Detaljer Almond Cookies Recipe Tips:
Tip 1: The almond flour can be substituted for ground almonds. However, as ground almonds are coarser than almond flour, the baked cookies will have a slightly different texture. You can always blend the ground almonds a little finer yourself before using if you'd prefer
Tip 2: These almond cookies will keep for up to 1 week in an air tight container
