Chinese Almond Cookie Recipe
One of our favorite ethnic cookies is this Chinese almond cookie recipe. | Moist and chewy, if you under bake them just a bit. Actually, that is the way I prefer all my cookies, warm and chewy.
This Chinese Almond Cookie recipe make perfect cookie jar fillers. When you would like to take a platter of cookies, they plate very nicely and transport well.
Sometimes I freeze these and take out just a few from the freezer and pack into lunches. They really hold up well. |
It's possible to lower the sodium content even more in this Chinese almond cookie recipe when you choose to use featherweight baking powder, which is sodium free. I find that it substitutes well teaspoon for teaspoon.
