How to Make Almond Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease two large baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil, ¼ cup (60ml) orange juice, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) ground almonds, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Using a measuring teaspoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls.
  6. Roll each ball in ½ cup (60g) icing sugar until evenly coated.
  7. Lightly grease your hands with oil to prevent sticking. Press one whole almond into the center of each cookie.
  8. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on wire racks before serving or storing.
