Recipe Summary Almond Cookies (Dim Sum Variety)
These almond cookies are what you would typically find in Chinese dim sum restaurants in Hawaii. A lot of these neighborhood dim sum stores/restaurants have closed down recently, so it's nice to be able to still enjoy these cookies from your own kitchen. If you enjoy the flavor of almonds, you'll love these cookies. This is a simple recipe and is a favorite in my family. Give it a try!Ingredients | Baga Grape Varietyred food coloring1 cup vegetable shortening, plus3 tablespoons vegetable shortening1 cup sugar1 egg, beaten1 teaspoon almond extract2 ½ cups all-purpose flour½ teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon saltDirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour a few drops of red food coloring into a small bowl, and set aside.With an electric mixer, beat the shortening together with the sugar in a mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in the egg and almond extract.In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the sugar-shortening mixture, and mix well. Scoop up a scant tablespoon of dough with a spoon, and form into a walnut-sized ball. Place the ball onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and press the ball slightly with your thumb to create a flat spot on top (don't flatten the cookie). Dip the end of a bamboo chopstick into the red food coloring, and touch the center of each cookie to make a red dot.Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool on a rack.Info | Baga Grape Varietyprep:
