These are incredibly easy Chinese almond cookies that are flavorful, crisp on the edge but soft inside. They are perfect for Chinese New Year or any of your holiday cookie baking.
Preheat oven to 330 F (160 C). Line a large baking sheet with a parchment paper. Prepare egg wash by lightly beating the egg yolk with 1 tsp water. Set aside
Put all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine evenly. Add the cooking oil and use your clean hand to work into a non-sticky dough
Shaping:
Take about one tablespoon (about 15 grams) of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough and place on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gently press with your palm to flatten slightly into about 1/2-inch thickness. Place one piece of sliced almond on top. Brush with egg wash
Baking:
Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven (3rd rack from the top for me) and bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown
Cooling down:
Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 1 minute before removing them to a cooling rack to cool down completely. Store in the air-tight container at room temperature for up to 1 month
