Hi Shilpa,

Thanks for sharing this easy recipe.
I tried this the way you mentioned… Dough tasted awsome.. but cookies turned out to be very hard…

I dint even keep it for 10 minutes… what do you think went wrong?

Thanks,
Sammy

you can also soak the almonds overnight and remove skin before grinding them .

Quick question on the almond cookies…….can I use baking soda instead of baking powder? What is the difference?

Hi Shilpa,

Happy new year!!!

This recipe looks good and healthy for my cookie lover daughter…. just a clarification… do you use skinned almonds or do you leave the skin on? Sorry if I missed this in the recipe but I cudnt find it.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Komal

Shilpa: Leave the skin on.

hi mamta…………sorry i replied late….also you did not leave ur email id for me to reply to you….so am replying via this feed itself………for baking cakes use ur normal cake recipe……but add one pinch of baking soda to the cake batter….also you do not need to mix the batter too much…..and using a glass or microwave bowl ….micro the cake for about 5 mins…..check with a toothpick and immediately demould the cake when done……….in case you want to keep the cake for a longer period of time reduce the amount of sugar in the batter and pour a 3 or 4 tablespoons sugar mixed with water over the cake ..which retains the sponginess of the cake else it dries up too soon…….however you cannot make fresh fruit cakes with this method
