We printed out the recipe card and used 250 degees as listed. Argued with my wife who said that nobody cooks cookies at 250, she was right,but they still tasted great...

Can you use almond flour for the ground almonds and/or some of the flour?

Thanks.

Yes, almond flour can be substituted for the ground almonds. In fact, I believe that almon flour is just finely ground almonds.

I made some one time using almond butter instead of peanut butter in a peanut butter cookie recipe in my red and white checked cookbook. Turned out pretty good and I didn't have to do the grinding thing.

I followed the recipe and made the cookies last weekend, and the cookies taste delicious ! Teasing

I made some modification to the original recipe. I used 1/2 tsp of baking soda instead and add in 1/2 tsp baking powder. I reduce the amount of sugar to 180g instead and increase the ground almond to 80g. Besides, I omit the water too which I find quite unusual to add into cookies dough.

Hey, any of you geeks ever use baker's ammonia for cookies?
What do you think it would do to the almond cookie recipe?

You can order leaf lard which you will have to render yourself from:

Place an order for the San Francisco Farmer’s Market on Saturday. Pick up there, at the Ferry Plaza . To order, use farmersmarket@nimanranch.com, or call --- by Wednesday of the week you want to pick up.

In the past I have had a fair bit of success substituting a combination of half butter and half vegetable shortening for lard. This works especially well for pie crusts. It also makes life much easier when I am cooking for vegetarian friends.

I will try this recipe this week... Just got some almond powder and found this site searching for recipes to use it.

Have a great day,

I used wholemeal flour because I did not have white flour at home and they came out delicous.

Here is picture.

Yummy! yummy! yummy!
My family can't get enough of these cookies! Different from all the other cookies i've tasted. Not so sweet.

Great cookies! Used the variation posted by Jacq. For my oven, 15 min. was plenty. Also, added 3 Tbs. unsweetened coconut and a dash of vanilla extract. Thank you! These were just what I was looking for... BC

Check out my version which doesn't contain any butter and substitutes agave nectar for sugar.

I gotta say, I love the idea of these cookies, but I don't bake many cookies of ANY kind here (in Henan) except at Christmas, because butter is really expensive in China! My local WalMart-sized grocery store even stopped carrying it for a while and nobody except me seemed to mind. (And it was during November-December last year, so I REALLY minded!) Are there any cookies, besides peanut butter cookies, that are made with OIL? There's plenty of oil here - I got a gallon of peanut oil as a New Year's gift from my school and have barely made a dent in it - but all milk products (and nuts, for that matter) are expensive. I wonder why they make these in Chinatown? Is there some part of China where cows have been raised for hundreds of years, and ovens are commonly used? It certainly isn't here! Huh.
