Whole Wheat Almond Cookies

My son loves cookies a lot especially home made and likes to take for his snack along with some fresh fruits. So I always bake some cookies and store it,to make it healthier I use wheat flour and sometimes oats.I learned this recipe from my close friend  M who does lots of baking experiment and original recipe is with all purpose flour and semolina.

This is an easy to make cookie with lesser number of ingredients with a flavor of cardamom.These cookies are addictive,simple and perfect with a cup of tea.Here is the recipe for a delicious,eggless mouth melt cookies with whole wheat flour and almonds.

Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Wheat flour	1cup
Sugar	1/3cup
Butter(room temperature)	1/2cup
Almond(Powdered)	1/4cup
Cardamom powder	1/2tsp
Baking powder	1/2tsp
Salt	1/2tsp

Method

                                      Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with a hand blender until soft & fluffy.Add in the flour,almond powder,baking powder salt and the cardamom powder,mix it well till everything gets blend. Form a dough by gently kneading with hands to a soft dough.
Divide the dough into equal portions of small balls,flatten slightly each ball by pressing gently with thumb or with a fork.Keep in the greased baking tray with enough space between each cookie.Bake in the preheated oven for 18-25minutes or until nice golden color(for me it took 22 mins).
Store it in a an air tight container once its cool down completely.

Enjoy........

• Vanilla extract can also be added for extra flavor.
• Here,I have powdered the whole almonds in the blender to a fine powder which can be substituted with cashews or pistachios.
• If the dough is crumbly add couple of tbs of milk to make it soft.
