Almond Cookies

Another cookie that is a favorite during the Chinese New Year festival. Cookies that are rich in flavor and savory in taste. Ingredients for this cookie is relative simple, and no you don't have to ground your own almond meal since its available in supermarkets and specialty store.

It doesn't have the melt in your mouth texture, but I can promise you it's almond flavor is enough to tantalize your taste bud! And the process? So simple that you just need to rely on your mixer and oven to do the work.

Before going into the burning oven of 180*C. Look at those yellow little dough coated with a rich mixture of egg yolks.

Pretty little crumbly almond cookies.Sinful but oh so delicious. After one piece, you'll ask for more.
