Almond Cookies Using Airfryer
Chinese New Year goodies can be really expensive, averaging S$15 for a bottle. I came across this one at Singapore Island Country Club and I thought - hey this is what I am going to try.
After several rounds, I perfected the almond cookies using the airfryer. [If using oven, go for 160 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.] Enjoy!
Recipe
Yield: 30 pieces
Ingredients
120g ground almond powder* (not the sweetened almond drink)
180g plain flour
90g castor sugar (reduced from 120g)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
120ml oil (corn or sunflower oil are ok)
sliced almond pieces
* Apart from Phoon Huat, you can get almond powder from NTUC Finest too:

| I love this texture. Looks almost like almond ice cream! :) |
3. Weigh the dough at 7g each and roll them into a ball. Arrange on lined baking tray.
Optional: You may glaze the top with beaten egg yolk, but I skipped this step as I like the almond cookies nicely pure and white.
4. Decorate the top of each almond dough ball with a sliced almond piece.
5. Bake in airfryer at 140 degrees for 16 minutes. The smell of almond will fill the kitchen.
6. Allow the almond cookies to cool on the baking paper in the airfryer for a few minutes, before removing the tray from the airfryer.
7. Carefully transfer them to a plate to cool.
8. When the almond cookies are completely cool, place them into airtight containers. Do line the layers with doley paper to absorb oil. Store at room temperature. Enjoy!

Write commentsI do not have an air fryer but can I bake as per normal at 180degrees?thanks!
ReplyHi Emj, for oven, I would recommend 160 degrees, though of course different ovens are different. Just tweak from there. Have fun and let us know how it turns out! :)
ReplyI just tried this yummy recipe from your blog and it has come out really yummy!! :)

May i know how long can I store those cookies?
ReplyHi, where do you get the doley paper from?
ReplyThank you :)
Hi Jing Yan, I got them from Phoon Huat. About $3 for a pack of about 100 pcs. If you are in Singapore too, U could try SKP as well :)
Replyi tried this recipe and could taste the castor sugar in the cookies. Could this be due to not using the mixer?
ReplyHi dont need to shift the flour ? Looks v easy to make. Thks
ReplyThk for the recipe. Is v tasty. Yummy. I use coconut oil so taste abit unique. Still is v gd. Thks for sharing.
ReplyHi base on my pass experience, i bake sugee, almond cookies around temperature of 140 degree in conventional oven. As recipe consists of baking soda,if the temperature is too high the cookies will expand too quickly and will get a split open biscuit.
ReplyEnsure that the cookies are well-cooled before storing in an airtight container. You can then keep in room temperature for 2 or 3 weeks. :)
ReplyGreat, thanks for sharing about using coconut oil. I heard that it's quite a healthy option too!
ReplyHi, I just discovered your website (as I just bought an airfryer), and am very impressed at how simple the recipes seem and how yummy the results look! Thinking of trying either butter cookie or almond cookie, or.... I wonder if I can substitute the oil here with melted butter? Will the butter flavour overpower the almond?
ReplyWelcome to this new world! Oil is a common essential in my home here so I haven't tried using melted butter before, to be honest :)
ReplyHi can use brown sugar instead? Not sure why the dough turns out flaky, not sticky enough , so I add more oil.
ReplyHi, i was looking through airfryer recipes and found yours, i tried the crabmeat stick and it is amazing. I tried making this almond cookies but kind of failed, could you kindly advise me if possible? For portion, i lowered it to 100g almond powder, 150g plain flour and 100ml of olive oil. I'm not sure if i made it too big which cause the end product to be abit too soft and crumbly and the smell of it is very very heavy olive oil. Can i also ask if pre-heating is required? I put them in directly at 140deg, 25mins. Thank you!!
