Almond Cookies

Time really flies, not even a month and Lunar Chinese New Year is approaching. During chinese new year, i definitely will not miss my flavour goodies like pineapple tarts, almond cookies and love letter.

For love letter, i prefer the Taiwan/Hong Kong style. The texture is different from the local love letter, their version is thicker.

The almond cookies i have made, i would said it taste nice but is not the kind of melt once u serve into your mouth. Is rather more crispy. I quite satisfy with the end product.

• 250gm plain flour
