How to Make Ginger Almond Wafers
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Line two heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse on and off until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 cup crystallized ginger. Process until just moistened and small clumps form. Do not overmix.
- Shape the dough into 1 1/4-inch diameter balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Dip the bottom of a glass into powdered sugar. Gently press each dough ball to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
