Powder Cookies Recipe

This recipe comes from mother of one of my blog readers, Michele.

I made a few small adjustments to the original spec and they turned out amazing! I love the texture that lays somewhere between a biscuit and a macaron, dead easy to make and super delicious to snack on while watching your favourite movie on the sofa.

The only thing you gonna need is a cup of tea or coffee :)

250g of plain flour (works with gluten-free flour as well)
100g of ground almonds
pinch of salt

Transfer ready dough onto a plate and place it inside the refrigerator to bring down its temperature (around 20-30 minutes)

Pinch a tablespoon of the dough and roll in your hands to form a ball then flatten and place on a non-stick baking tray.
Bake cookies for around 10 minutes then allow to cool down before removing them from the tray.
