Almond Cookies

My trials for baking cookies have begun. I have referred to MANY websites to get this right. After a couple of trials, here is the one which works well for me.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds or powdered almonds
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter 
• About 2 tablespoons of milk
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon( Optional)

What to do:

• Pre heat the oven to 350 degree F.
• Mix the flour, sugar, salt, sliced almonds and baking powder


• Add butter and milk to the flour mixture to make dough. Dough should be soft.
• Divide the dough into small balls.
• Press each ball between your palms lightly, leave the pieces 1/2” in thickness.
• Place them about an inch a part (They tend to flatten as they bake)on UNgreased baking plates
• Bake the cookies for about 12 to 18 minutes (Cookies should turn gold brown).
• Remove the cookies from the oven. 
• Let the cookies cool down for two to three minutes before taking them.

Enjoy tasty cookies.
