category hari raya almond london cookies biskut almond london one of the worst things about being away from home is missing out on the various celebrations we have in malaysia chinese new year hari raya eid deepavali sigh i even miss the cheesy music unsurprisingly food is one of the highlights of any celebration in malaysia we love our food which meant that the only way i could feel a little festive was to bake cook something raya related but of course i decided on these almond london cookies for several reasons 1 i d never made them before 2 i like eating them 2 i liked how it had the word london in it i have no idea how the name came about because i am fairly certain it did not originate in london if anyone knows the origins behind the name of this cookie please do share as i d love to know the biscuit is made up of 3 main parts a whole toasted almond covered in a crispy biscuit and coated with chocolate they re usually topped with chopped almonds but other toppings that are commonly use include sprinkles any type or white chocolate the recipe is actually very simple with minimal ingredients needed i did slightly underestimate how tedious it was going to be though individually wrapping the dough around each almond took a lot longer than i d imagined i always say that you never truly appreciate how much work goes into malaysian celebration cookies and i think these are a good example having said that these were easier to make than pinapple nastar tarts nevertheless i still enjoyed making these and now i have a small stash in my fridge for times of need greed plus it feels a little like home almond london cookies biskut almond london adapted from this recipe by amy beh makes approximately 80 cookies 125g unsalted butter softened 75g icing sugar 1 egg yolk 200g plain flour 25g rice flour 300 toasted whole almonds toasting is optional 100g chopped nuts i used hazelnuts as i had some to hand you may also use sprinkles or melted white chocolate to decorate the biscuits if you prefer 400g dark milk chocolate 1 sift the plain flour and rice flour into a medium sized bowl set aside 2 place butter and icing sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer or use a hand held mixer cream the butter sugar mixture at medium speed i use the k beater until it turns pale and fluffy 3 add the egg yolk and mix until just combined 4 add the sifted flour mixture in two parts mixing well after each addition you should now have a cohesive dough 5 take a small piece of dough approximately the size of a marble 1 5cm diameter and flatten it slightly wrap the dough around the almond then form it into a cylinder alternatively you may prefer to form it into a round ball 6 place the wrapped almond on a baking tray lined with baking paper a silpat 7 repeat with the remaining dough and almonds until all the dough is used up you may end up with some extra almonds you can either snack on these or chop them up to use as a topping 8 bake in a 175 c preheated oven for 20 minutes until slightly golden i would advise only preheating your oven when you re halfway through wrapping the almonds in the dough to save on electricity cool the baked cookies on a wire rack 9 once cooled place each cookie in a small paper case 10 melt the chocolate in a double boiler i use a pyrex bowl over a pot of simmering water take care to ensure that the chocolate does not come into contact with any water as this will cause the chocolate to seize 11 using a teaspoon spoon the melted chocolate over each cookie try to ensure the chocolate goes up to the edges of the paper cases as it makes for a prettier cookie 12 sprinkle the tops of each cookie with chopped nuts sprinkles melted white chocolate 13 once the chocolate has set eat you may prefer to place the cookies in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process if you re impatient like me if you live in hot climates happy eid selamat hari raya everyone posted on august 19 2012 categories chinese new year cookie
