Chocolate Almond Cookies 巧克力杏仁饼

This Chocolate Almond Cookie is one of my favorite cookie. They just melt in your mouth type of cookies. Let's get started..... :)

Ingredients:

• 250g Butter (room temperature)
• 115g Icing Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 - 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 300g Low protein flour or cake flour
• 30g Cocoa powder
• 100g Cornflour or corn starch
• 160g Almond flakes

Method:

• Sift together flour, cocoa powder and cornflour. Set aside.

• Cream the butter until soft.

• Add in icing sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

• Add in egg and vanilla extract. Beat until well mix.

• Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture. 

• Fold to mix.

• Then add in the almond flakes and combine to form a soft dough.

• Divide the dough into two equal portions. 

• Shape into logs. Wrap with cling wrap or cling film. Chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes or until firm to cut.

• Preheat oven at 170C.

• Cut the logs into slices and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

• Leave on wire rack to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

I have also made some in heart shape by using my sushi maker.
