Sliced almonds 250 gr Almond flour 5 gr All-purpose flour 30 gr Salt 1/4 teaspoon Powdered sugar 120 gr Unsalted butter 50 gr Egg whites 2 pieces
How to choose good almonds
- Good almonds are observed to have very few damaged nuts, no black spots, cracks, or mold, and insects. The outer shell is intact, with a characteristic light brown color, and the shell surface is not wrinkled.
- You should choose plump, round nuts, with a thin skin that is not peeling or broken.
- Quality almonds will have a distinctive aroma, a light feel, and no sour or damp smell. The nuts have a rich buttery flavor, a light crispy texture, not harsh, not strong, and not oily or overly bland, or showing signs of bitterness or sourness.
- And finally, you should carefully check the labels, barcodes, production place, expiration date,… If the above information is missing or unclear, or has been erased, it is best not to buy.

How to make Almond Slice Cookies
-
Mix the butter and egg whites
Melt 50 gr of unsalted butter.
Add 2 egg whites and 120 gr of powdered sugar into a bowl, use a whisk to mix until the sugar dissolves, then add 50 gr of melted unsalted butter and mix together.
-
Mix the flour
Sift 30 gr of all-purpose flour into the butter and egg white mixture, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 5 gr of almond powder, and mix until the batter thickens, then add 250 gr of sliced almonds and mix well.
-
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
Then pour the batter into a tray lined with parchment paper, spread the batter evenly in the tray and bake in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes.
-
Once the cookies are baked, take them out and use a knife to cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then arrange the cookies on a rack and place them in the oven to dry at 110 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
Tip: If the cookies are slightly golden after baking, you can cover them with a layer of aluminum foil before drying to prevent them from becoming too golden and unappealing.
-
Final product
After drying the cookies, let them cool and they are ready to be served to the family.
The cookies are golden and crispy, with a delightful aroma; when eaten, they have a sweet, rich taste combined with a slight nuttiness from the almonds, making them truly captivating.
Successful Baking Tips
- Each type of oven has different baking temperature variations. You can improve baking results by using an oven thermometer or by monitoring the cake frequently to adjust the temperature, baking time, and appropriate baking rack.
- Do not store the cake in a plastic bag while it is still warm; the cake can produce steam, and sealing it will easily cause the cake to become damp and spoil quickly. Wait for the cake to cool completely and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap (the type designed for food), tying it securely to keep air out.
- After wrapping tightly, you should store the cake in a cool, dry place at room temperature. If the temperature is too hot, you can put it in the refrigerator. The cake can last 2 to 3 days if stored properly.
- You should make the cake according to the exact ratio specified for the best taste.
- You must bake the almonds to avoid poisoning from toxins found in raw almonds.
