Keyword Almonds, Baking, Cookies, Copycat Recipes, Pakistani, Snacks, Tea Time
Servings 18 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup clarified butter, solid and at room temperature
  • 1 cup whole almonds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large egg yolks, whisked

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and set aside a parchment lined baking sheet.

  2. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, clarified butter, almonds, ground cardamom, and baking powder. Mix until thoroughly combined and a cohesive dough comes together.

  3. Spoon the dough out using a cookie scoop or about 2 tablespoons of dough, and roll into balls. Lightly flatten the balls to form discs, and place spaced 2-inches apart on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with whisked egg yolk.

  4. Bake until the edges are just barely golden, about 10 to 15 minutes (cookies will set once cooled). Cool completely on the baking sheet.
