Last time when aayi told me to eat almonds, I bought a big pack of it, put it in freezer and forgot all about it!. I have been thinking to finish it off for a while now. But that didn’t happen. I tried to give those to Ishaan a couple of times, but he doesn’t like them. Then I made badam milk for him, but forgot all about it soon.
So last week, when I was coming home from Ishaan’s daycare, all I could think of was almonds. I wanted to bake some cookies. Ahh, it has been ages since I baked cookies. So as soon as I reached home, I baked these. I wasn’t sure if they would come out well. But they tasted heavenly, they were very crunchy and had amazing aroma of saffron. Even after almost 1 week, they tasted great.
Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1 cup all purpose floor
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/8th tea spn saffron
2 tbl spn milk
1 tea spn baking powder
Method:
Preheat the oven at 250F for about 10mins.
Powder the almonds (I use them along with skin). Measure the powder, use 1 cup of flour.
Mix the almond flour, all purose flour, sugar, baking powder.
Melt the butter. Add the butter to the mixture. Mix the saffron in warm milk. Add to the mixture. Mix everything.
Make small balls from the mixture and bake them in the oven at 250F for about 40mins (time depends on the size of the cookies).
Makes about 2 dozen cookies

No, I did not flatten them. When they are baked, they get flattened
Wow…another simple eggless recipe. I am going to try it soon. Did you powdered almond in regular Indian mixer? Usually it becomes mushy as it has oil in it.
Yes I did. I warmed them a bit before putting in Sumeet mixer. If they have small pieces, it tastes great
One of my friend made these cookies and they turned out really good/tasty. She said it was simple procedure and I am going to try. 🙂

Hi dear,
I have one doubt. Did u use convection microwave? I have a simple microwave with fixed temp setting and no grill. Will it work?
Thanks, I love your recipes – simple and awesome.
Sorry, never tried in microwave. I use my conventional oven.
How do u get alamond flour
And do we use almond flour as well as all purpose r
As explained in the method, just grind the almonds to powder
I tried these using gluten free flour and instead of saffron used almond extract . They came out really well and my daughter loved them.They were gone in 2 days. Love the recipe…will try other recipes as well
tried it shilpa and its awesome came out very well. delicate saffron flavor too good… thanks!!!!!
Shilpa, these cookies were awesome! I veganized the recipe. I used earth Balance natural shortening , replacing butter.
Thank you so much for so many great recipes.
Shilpa,
This cookie is really awesome! I have been baking this so many times…
I used sujata whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. I used vegetable canola oil and cardamom powder, and I used half cup almond flour and half cup of cashewnut powder…
Since I used oil, the cookies took 55 minutes to bake…
I’M so happy that I have a great vegan cookie recipe.
Thanks again for the wonderful recipe…
