Gluten Free Almond Biscuits Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE ALMOND BISCUITS

Steps:

• Place the egg whites, almond essence, icing sugar, salt and ground almonds into a food processor and blend to a smooth paste.
• Dust a clean work surface with icing sugar, turn the mixture out and roll into a sausage shape. Wrap with cling film and place in the fridge for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 160C/150C Fan/Gas 3 and line two baking trays with baking paper.
• When ready to bake, cut into 2cm/1in slices and roll each one into a ball. Place onto the lined baking trays about 2cm/1in apart and sprinkle a few flaked almonds over the top of each. Press gently to make the almonds stick and to squash the cookies a little.
• Bake in batches for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.

GLUTEN-FREE ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the almond and coconut flours in a small bowl.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the almond extract and egg and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and continue beating until just combined and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold in the sliced almonds.
• Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment or wax paper and use the paper to help mold the dough into a 10-by-2-inch log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
