To make the taste pleasing, the cookies to be crispiest and finest at its best is necessary. The recipe I bring for my readers is none other than the almond cookies.

·         Sieve all the dry powders that are all-purpose flour, baking powder and icing sugar, mix them well and keep aside.

·         In another bowl, beat an egg.

·         Add clarified butter to the dry powder mixture, and mix well for few minutes until the content is uniformly distributed.

·         Add egg as little as needed in making the dough, then mix well again.

·         Slice the almonds to pieces and add them in the dough, mix well to uniformly distribute it with the dough.

·         Now, dust the surface or rolling table with the flour and roll the dough on the surface or rolling table with the rolling pin.

·         Grease the baking tray with butter and cut the cookies from the dough using the cookie cutter and place them in the baking tray.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

·         If you are new in baking, first of all you make the dough, and arrange all the cookies on tray which you want to bake at a time, and then set your oven to preheat, this is necessary to save electricity or gas and your cookies to be ready in time described.

·         Secondly, if you are making cookies for the first time in your life, you should to remember that never judge and disappoint yourself when those look a little soft to touch, let them cool first then definitely they turn crispy.

·         Never cook your cookies on gas mark 4, now what is gas mark 4? This is actually heat from the top and bottom in the oven. If you bake on gas mark 4 your cookies will burn.
