Coffee Brown Sugar Almond Cookies

Overview

(The emoticon in the picture was added by a certain Xiuxiu software, so everyone will automatically ignore it.) Hong Kong’s Jenny Cookies has a coffee-flavored cookie mixed with almonds that tastes really good. I really like that taste. I just made a brown sugar almond cookie two days ago and thought it tasted very similar, so I added some coffee powder today, which can be considered a copycat. This biscuit is crispy and delicious, and has almond particles for an extra texture. As for baking powder, many people are afraid to use it because many domestic baking powders contain aluminum, and some people even use it to bake cakes and have a strange smell after breaking it apart. In fact, baking powder itself is made from some corn starch plus soda ash and some other ingredients. It is not harmful in itself, but it is just a food safety issue in China. If you really don’t like it, you don’t have to add it. In addition, many people now buy foreign baking powder online, which is also a feasible method. Because biscuits added with baking powder will really become much crispier.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Use a food processor to grind the almonds into fine particles (not into powder)

  2. Soften butter at room temperature, mash slightly, then beat with a whisk.

  3. Beat the butter until it begins to swell and prepare to add sugar

  4. I used three parts of brown sugar, one part of brown sugar, and one part of powdered sugar today. They were also crushed with a food processor for easy use.

  5. Add the sugar to the butter 2-3 times and beat evenly.

  6. Then sift together the low-gluten flour and a spoonful of baking powder, and stir into the butter.

  7. In order to make it easier for everyone to see the amount of baking powder I use, I will give a close-up of the spoon, which is about 1-1.3 tablespoons.

  8. Add the flour to the butter and stir. During this period, add 1-1.5 whole eggs beaten.

  9. Then add the chopped almonds and continue stirring.

  10. During this period, dissolve the black coffee powder with about a small spoonful of water and pour it into the flour.

  11. Then knead the flour into a ball with your hands, shape it into the shape you like, seal it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

  12. Take it out and cut it into slices about 0.7 cm thick,

  13. Arrange them neatly on the parchment paper, preheat the oven at 170 degrees (338F) for 10 minutes, then put the biscuits in the middle layer and bake at 170 degrees for about 18 minutes.

  14. The volume of biscuits added with baking powder will expand, so the gap between the biscuits should be slightly larger. This is after baking. You can compare it with the one before baking.

  15. It is best to take out the baking pan as soon as the biscuits are baked, otherwise the residual heat of the baking pan will over-bake the biscuits and affect the taste.
