These Chinese Five-Spice Almond Cookies are a delightful blend of almond and warm spices. The buttery, nutty flavors combined with the aromatic five-spice powder make these cookies a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon pure almond extract. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup almond flour. 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup sliced almonds, for topping.
Instructions: Put the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. Mix the egg and almond extract into the butter mixture until everything is well mixed together. All-purpose flour, almond flour, Chinese five-spice powder, baking powder, and salt should all be mixed together in a different bowl using a whisk. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms. The dough should be put in the fridge for at least an hour to get firm. Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. With a cookie scoop or spoon, make balls of dough and put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Use the back of a fork to gently flatten each ball, and then add sliced almonds on top to make it look nice. After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way. The Chinese Five-Spice Almond Cookies are ready to eat once they have cooled down.
