This particular Almond Cookie recipe is a 2 day process. A minimum of 12 hours is needed for resting time. I call this the perfectly planned cookie and a delicious one at that. It’s worth it!
Separate yolk from egg white. Beat egg white until firm peak forms. Fold in the honey & almond essence. In another bowl combine the ground almonds, caster sugar, then add lightened and fluffy beaten egg yolk, then add egg white mixture to the almond mix. Cover bowl with cling film and refrigerate over night, or for a minimum of 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C, lightly grease and paper line bake trays.
The next night, beat the extra egg white until firm peaks form, add a half of egg white to the almond mixture, then fold in.
Using a teaspoon and or as sized ice cream scoop as well, ball shape and roll into confectioners icing sugar.
Place on bake oven tray and slightly flatten using a spatula.
Brush tops of cookie with remaining egg white, and press a couple of flaked almonds onto the center decoratively.
Bake for 20 mins., or until lightly golden.
