DONNA'S COCONUT ALMOND COOKIES
I have four daughters, and my family has a big love of a certain candy bar. I was inspired to create a cookie that would satisfy the cravings! The result is a light and airy cookie that's crisp, packed with flavor, and addicting! It's hard to stop at one. You can switch out the semi-sweet chocolate with your favorite chocolate flavor or just leave the chocolate off altogether. Don't be fooled by the small amount of chocolate because this cookie packs a lot of flavor. These are super easy to make.

CHINESE ALMOND COOKIES
Almond cookies like these are thought to resemble coins, making them particularly popular as a symbol of good fortune during the Chinese New Year. Traditional recipes are made with lard and flavored with almond extract. We used butter and almond flour in these to boost the nutty flavor and create a crumbly texture similar to pecan sandies. Enjoy them year-round, particularly with a cup of tea or coffee.

Steps:
- Sift the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt together into a large bowl. Whisk any bits of almond flour left in the sifter into the sifted flour mixture.
- Combine the butter and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the almond extract and 1 egg yolk and beat until the mixture is smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Reduce the speed to medium low, add the flour mixture and beat until no streaks of flour remain, about 2 minutes.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk together the remaining egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Scoop the dough by tablespoons (you can use a 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop) and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Roll each scoop into a ball and return it to the baking sheet. Flatten each with your palm into a 2-inch round. Gently press an almond onto each and brush with the egg wash.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown on the edges, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
- Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

DIVINE MOLDED ALMOND COOKIES
What more can I say? If you are a true fan of almond paste or marzipan cookies, then you will devour these cookies! Exceedingly and deceptively easy to make, your family and friends will swear that you spent 1/2 a day making these! Please use a cookie stamp with these; it is worth the few dollars to own one (or several) to really make these cookies 'shine'!

Steps:
- NOTE: After the dough is made, I cut it in half and use the butter wrapper to keep the dough from drying out when I'm rolling the dough into balls. The dough will feel very gritty, as if there were sand in the dough. When you roll each ball, it will be ready to be stamped when the grittiness disappears and the dough is very soft and pliable. I only use enough dough so that when it is stamped down, the stamp completely covers the cookie.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Measure out the almond paste. Take it manually out of the measuring cup and tear it into tiny bits of almond paste, about the size of the pad on your thumb. Scatter it around the soft butter.
- Beat butter and almond paste in a medium-sized bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. This will not mix "by hand". It takes the beaters to pulverize the almond paste enough to mix it into the dough.
- Beat in sugar.
- Stir in flour with a wooden spoon. If necessary, knead in remaining flour with your hands. The dough initially appears very crumbly. However, the heat from your hands when you knead it and then roll each ball makes it very smooth and workable. Once dough is made, divide into two equal parts and cover with the butter wrappers to keep pliable and moist while you roll out each ball.
- Stamped Cookie instructions:.
- Form dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll dough into your hands until it feels very pliable. At first, it will feel very gritty but the warmth from your hands will blend the butter and almond paste. When it feels smooth like Playdoh, it is ready to be stamped.
- Arrange balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheets 3 inches apart.
- Using a 1.5 inch or 2 inch cookie stamp dipped into granulated sugar, press firmly into each cookie to flatten dough and make patterns on the top.
- NOTE: When I use a stamp at first, I will touch dough to it to transfer "fat" onto the surface so the sugar will stick. Then, after each and every cookie that is stamped, place the stamper back into a shallow dish of sugar so it is coated each time.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or only until the edges become the slightest shade of light brown. It takes a long time for these cookies to bake; begin checking for the slight brown edges after 10 minutes.
- Slide cookies off of the baking sheet, onto your counter, still attached to the parchment paper. Allow to cool 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- NOTE: These are one of the BEST keeping cookies that I've ever made. I had "misplaced" some of these in the kitchen for a month, opened the container they were stored in and was ready to toss them. DH stopped me, tried one and exclaimed, "They're as great as the day you first made them!".
- If you have the time and really want to amp up the volume on these cookies, you can use a small brush and apply cookie paint or cookie glitter to the raised surfaces of the cookie.
