This month BM is a month long marathon means, we normally do this three days in a week every month. But this month we decided to do this for full month of course Sundays we are taking break. We have already done one month full marathon in April. This is little different from that, This time Valli decided to cook with Alphabets and with some themes. Means we have to cook our first recipe name starts with A.
I have chosen my first weeks theme as Baking and my ingredient with letter A is Almond. Almond cookies recipe is in my cooking note book from long time. I have tried this recipe with chopped almonds (not powder) few times but didn't find much difference. Then I tried with a twist of adding orange essence to give flavor to this cookies. That was really wonderful but essence will give only aroma. Adding orange zest will give a wonderful aroma and taste to this cookies. When you grind almonds in to coarse powder that will give a crunchy texture to the cookies. The combination of almonds and orange make this cookies more delicious and interesting...
INGREDIENTS:--
Butter ---- 115gms
Sugar ---- 100gms
All purpose flour (maida) --- 155gms
Lemon juice --- 1 tea sp
Orange juice --- 1 tab sp
Almonds ---- 15 grind in to a coarse powder
Almonds --- 10 chopped for topping
Baking powder ---- 1 tea sp
Orange zest -- from one orange
METHOD:--
1. Preheat the oven at 200 degree C for 10 minutes
2. Add butter, sugar, ground almond to a mixing bowl and beat it till soft ( can use a electric beater for this).
3. In another bowl take flour, baking powder, orange zest mix well.
4. Add flour mixture slowly to the butter mixture and fold the mixture gently
5. Add lemon juice, orange juice mix well and leave this dough in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Remove the dough from the fridge and shape the dough in to golf ball size balls, place them on a baking tray.
7. Bake for 15 minutes on 150 degree C.
Remove and cool
