Almond Snowballs

Today I wanted to make ‘Kinako' Biscuits, but I didn’t have enough ‘Kinako’ which is finely ground roasted soybeans. I used roasted almonds instead. Using the food chopper, I ground the almonds. I added some coarsely chopped almonds as well. I rolled the baked biscuits in icing sugar to coat them. The result was amazing!

Ingredient

Food ration :

30 Balls

1 cup

Plain Flour

1 cup

Roasted Almond *ground & coarsely chopped

125 g

Butter *softened

1/4 cup

Sugar

1 pinch

Salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Grind Roasted Almonds or you can use Almond Meal. Add some coarsely chopped Almonds to make 1 cup.

* Step 2

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

* Step 3

Mix all ingredients and knead gently until combined. If it is too soft, add some more Plain Flour. The dough needs to be just moist enough so that you can roll it into balls.

* Step 4

Roll dough into 2 to 2.5cm balls and place them on the prepared baking tray allowing some room for spreading. (They won’t spread much.)

* Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly coloured. Allow to cool on the tray.

* Step 6

Roll the balls in Icing Sugar Mix to coat. *Note: If the biscuits are still warm, the Icing Sugar coats well but it gets sticky. Roll the balls in Icing Sugar again when they are completely cool so that you get totally white snowball-look biscuits.
