Almond-Walnut Cookies

This melt in mouth recipe of almond-walnut cookie is so easy to make that it will be ready within 30mins and is filled with nutrients.

I tried a friends almond cookie recipe and it turned out to be really good. I wanted to make it more healthy so after several trials I came up with this wholesome version by adding walnut powder along with almond powder and decreasing the quantity of all purpose flour.

Ingredients

• 3/4th Cup Maida/All Purpose Floor
• 1/2 Cup Ghee/Clarified Butter
• 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 3/4th Cup Almond + Walnut powder
• 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
• Few Almond pieces for Garnish

Method:

• Preheat oven at 350° F/180° C.
• Mix ghee and sugar until sugar melts and become smooth paste.

• Now add Maida, Almond-Walnut Powder(refer Note below to make this powder) & Baking Powder to Ghee Sugar mixture and make a dough.

• Make small balls out of dough and arrange it on a baking tray, keep a almond piece on top and slightly press it. Bake for 15mins.

• After 15mins remove it from the oven and let it cool down for 10mins.

• Once it cools down, top it with sugar glaze(to make sugar glaze mix 5 tsp confection sugar with 1 tsp milk). This step is optional.

Note :

• This cookie can be made with only almond powder or only walnut powder(3/4th cup each).
• Ghee can be replaced with butter.
• Almond-walnut powder- In a blender jar, add equal amount of almonds and walnuts, blend it to fine powder. Don’t over blend it as it might become paste.
