Almond Spice Cookies

Almond Spice Cookies are a popular Dutch import for coffee or tea. Learn how to make/prepare Almond Spice Cookies by following this easy recipe.


Ingredients:


• 4 cups (500gs) All-purpose Flour

• 2 tsp Instant Coffee Powder

• 3 tsp Cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp Almond Extract

• 1 tsp Ginger

• 1 cup (125gs) Granulated Sugar

• 1/2 tsp Salt

• 1 cup (125gs) Dark Brown Sugar

• 1 tsp Baking Soda

• 3 large (extra) or jumbo Eggs

• 1 cup (125gs) Butter

• 300 g Blanched Almonds, slivered

How to make Almond Spice Cookies:

• In a bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt and baking soda and set aside.

• In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add the coffee, almond extract, granulated and brown sugars and beat well. Add the eggs one at a time until smooth after each addition.

• On low speed gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula and beating only until the mixture is smooth. Gently mix in the almonds.

• Spread out two pieces of wax paper. Place large spoonfuls of the dough lengthwise on each piece of paper to form heavy strips about 10-11 inches long. Fold the long sides of the paper p against the dough and, pressing against the paper with your hands, shape each strip of dough into a smooth oblong 12 inches long, 3 inches wide, and about 1 inch thick. Wrap the dough in the wax paper.

• Slide a cookie sheet under both packages of dough and transfer them to the freezer or refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This slices best when dough is frozen solid.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap one roll of dough at a time. Place dough on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife cut the dough into 1/4-inch slices and place them 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

• Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees. The cookies are done when they are slightly colored and spring back when lightly pressed with a fingertip.
