Ingredients:

For the Almond Cookies

• 430 g Margarine or Butter at room temperature
• 200 g Sugar
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• A pinch of Salt
• 3 Vanillins
• 30 g Brandy or Milk
• 700 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Chopped roasted almonds

For the Chocolate Drizzle

• 300 g Chocolate couverture
• 30 g Seed oil

Step 1: Mixing the Almond Cookies

Start by adding the margarine (or butter) and sugar to the mixer’s bowl. Beat them for about 5 minutes until the mixture turns fluffy and creamy. Now, add the baking powder, baking soda, a pinch of salt, vanillins, and brandy (or milk). Beat everything together for another 5 minutes until the ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a smooth cookie dough.

Step 2: Incorporating the Flour and Almonds

Transfer the cookie dough to a spacious bowl. Gradually add the all-purpose flour while continuously mixing until you have a well-combined dough. To enhance the cookies’ taste and texture, add the chopped roasted almonds and knead them into the dough until they are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Shaping and Baking the Almond Cookies

Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, which will help develop the flavors. Then, divide the dough into 1.1 oz (30 g) pieces and shape them into small balls. Place the dough balls on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each cookie. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and bake the cookies for about 30 minutes until they turn golden brown and irresistibly fragrant.

Step 4: Preparing the Chocolate Drizzle

While the cookies cool, it’s time to prepare the tantalizing chocolate drizzle. In a heat-resistant bowl, combine the chocolate couverture and seed oil. Microwave the mixture on medium power, in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate melts into a smooth and glossy texture.

Step 5: Adding the Chocolate Drizzle

With the cookies cooled and the chocolate drizzle ready, dip the top part of each cookie into the melted chocolate. This decadent touch will not only add a burst of flavor but also elevate the cookies’ appearance to an irresistible delight.

Now that your almond cookies are complete with a tantalizing chocolate drizzle, it’s time to savor the fruits of your baking endeavor. Whether you’re treating yourself or sharing these delectable treats with loved ones, these almond cookies are sure to win hearts and taste buds alike. Enjoy the crunchy texture, the nutty aroma, and the rich chocolate drizzle that make these cookies a true delight for any occasion. Happy baking!
