Chewy Almond Cookie
Iraqi (Hadji Bada) These are as easy to make as they are to eat plus, they just so happen to be gluten-free.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the almond flour, cinnamon and salt to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, sugar and rose water until foamy. Stir in the almond flour mixture until a smooth dough forms.
- Fill a small bowl with room-temperature water and add a few drops of rose water, then use this water to wet your hands to prevent sticking as you roll the dough. Roll the dough into tablespoon-size balls and place them on the prepared sheet pans, spacing them 2 inches apart and placing 12 balls on each pan. Push an almond or slivered almonds into the centre of each ball of dough.
- Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, for about 15 minutes, until the cookies have spread out and their edges are golden. Let cool completely on the pans, then serve.
