Almondthins Recipes

EASY ALMOND THIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Whisk egg white, coconut sugar, and almond extract together in a bowl. Fold almond flour into egg mixture until just combined; spread batter into baking dish. Sprinkle almonds over top of batter and press down lightly.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack using the parchment to lift it out of baking dish. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

ALMOND THINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Sift together the flour and salt and slowly stir into butter mixture until just blended.
• Divide batter in half and place each half on in the center of two ungreased, flat-sided cookie sheets. Dip a spatula in warm water and spread batter to cover the entire baking sheet, making sure batter is spread evenly. Sprinkle almonds and press gently into dough.
• Bake each sheet about 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Cut hot cookies into 2-inch squares. Return to oven and bake until lightly golden... about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent over baking.
• Remove from oven to a wire rack. Slide spatula under cookies to loosen. Cool completely on cookie sheets. Store in airtight containers with waxed paper between layers.

ALMOND TUILES

Steps:

• Place the egg white in a very clean bowl and whisk until stiff but not dry. Now beat in the sugar bit by bit and continue beating until the mixture forms soft peaks. When that happens, carefully fold in the rest of the ingredients except the almonds. Next drop 4 rounded teaspoons of the mixture evenly spaced out on one of the lined trays, then using a small palette knife spread the mixture thinly and evenly into discs about 10cm across. Don't worry about a small hole here and there - it doesn't matter at all. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds, then bake the biscuits near the centre of the oven for 4-5 minutes or until they have turned a nice golden colour with a fine brown fringe. While that's happening prepare the second tray so that you can exchange them. The cooked tuiles need to be quickly and carefully removed, one disc at a time, from the baking sheet, using a metal spatula. Curve each biscuit immediately over a rolling pin, and leave a few minutes until they are cool and crisp. Then remove them to a wire rack and cook the rest, continuing as above until all the mixture has been used up. As soon as the biscuits are cool, store straight away in an airtight tin to keep them crisp.

HOMEMADE BARK THINS

Steps:

• Place almonds in a plastic bag and seal. Using a sturdy wood spoon or an ice mallet, pound the almonds until they are chopped into small pieces mixed with crumbs.
• Set almonds aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add chocolate chips. Microwave in 25 second increments, stirring each time. Continue until melted--the key is not to overdo it. When almost all of the chips are melted, stirring a bit extra will get the rest and not overheat the chocolate.
• Pour crushed almonds, vanilla and all of the sea salt except for a pinch into the bowl and stir to combine.
• Line a 9x13inch baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture over top and spread evenly with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt.
• Allow to set in the freezer for about 30 min.
• Remove from the freezer and break into pieces.
• Store in the freezer of refrigerator.

CRANBERRY ALMOND BISCOTTI THINS (THINADDICTIVES IMITATION COOKIES)

Steps:

• Soak cranberries and raisins in water for 10min. Drain, then lay on paper towels to dry.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Separate all eggs. Set egg whites aside.
• In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with a whisk until light, frothy, and even coloured. (Use an electric mixer if available.) Gradually add in sugar, vanilla, and almond extract.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well, then slowly fold and mix into egg yolk mixture, until mixture has a fine breadcrumb-like texture. Use fingertips to crumble any remaining large lumps.
• Give raisins and cranberries a final pat dry if needed, then add into the mixture. Stir until incorporated. Add in almonds.
• In a separate large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with a whisk until stiff peaks.
• Fold egg whites into flour mixture. Combine until loose crumbs form larger clumps of dough. Try to incorporate all the crumbs; if there are some remaining that is okay. Using your fingertips helps.
• Pack dough into two loaf pans lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until firm to the touch. Depending on the size of the loaf pan, you might need more time.
• Cover 'loaves' in clean cloth or paper towels and allow to cool.
• After they have cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to cut into thins 2-3mm thick.**
• Place slices on a cookie sheet and bake for another 12-13min to allow them to crisp up.
• Allow them to cool on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 months.

ALMOND THINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F
• Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes; let cool. (Or, toast on the stove top in an iron skillet ~ stir constantly til golden. Be careful not to burn them!).
• In a food processor, pulse ½ cup of the almonds with ½ cup of the brown sugar until the almonds are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• With an electric mixer, beat the butter and the remaining ½ cup brown sugar at medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually mix in the flour-nut mixture just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in the remaining ½ cup almonds.
• Form the dough into two 12-by-1½-inch logs. Refrigerate, tightly wrapped, until firm, about 2 hours or up to 2 days.
• Heat oven to 350° F with the racks in the upper and lower thirds. Working with 1 log at a time (keep the other chilled), cut it into ¼-inch slices and place the slices on 2 baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Keep the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

CRISPY ALMOND BUTTER THINS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Using a heavy duty stand mixer cream butter with sugar and almond extract on medium speed until well combined (about 5 minutes or until no sugar granules should remain).
• Beat in egg yolks until combined.
• In a small bowl combine the flour with salt until combined; add to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
• Remove to a surface and work the dough using with clean hands until smooth.
• Divide the dough evenly in half.
• Shape into two logs, wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill for minimum 3 hours or until very hard.
• Set oven to 350°F.
• Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
• Unwrap the dough log then slice into about 1/4-inch slices (the thinner that you slice these the crispier they will be when they bake).
• Place onto lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake until lightly browned around the edges (about 12-15 minutes, the cookies will not be crispy if you under bake them).
• Cool slightly on baking sheet (the cookies will harden even more upon sitting) then coat in sugar.
