Almond Rice Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the water, rice and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Stir in the almonds, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Mix the rice, ground almonds, and sugar.
• Thoroughly beat in the egg white, honey, and almond essence.
• Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
• Place teaspoons of the mixture well apart on the paper, and press a split almond on top of each.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cookies are light golden brown.
• Leave them to cool slightly on the cookie sheet, then lift them off the waxed paper.
• When cool, store in an airtight tin.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream butter or margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add almond extract and egg. Beat well. Stir in flour, crispy rice and almonds.
• Shape into balls one inch in diameter and place on ungreased baking sheets. Press with a floured fork to flatten slightly. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the ground almonds and sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix to combine.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then add to the almond and sugar mixture. Stir well - it will form a slightly sticky mixture but should hold its shape.
• Wet your hands lightly and roll a heaped teaspoon of the mixture into a ball between your palms - it should be about 4cm in diameter. Put on the tray and flatten slightly with wet fingers to a thick disc, leaving at least 3cm between each biscuit. Press a blanched almond into each one, if you like.
• Bake for 18-20 mins until just starting to turn golden around the edges, then remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. You want them to have a chewy, soft centre and the darker they get the harder the middle will be.
• To make cinnamon balls, add the cinnamon to the almonds and sugar before you add the egg white. When shaping, leave them as balls. Bake for 18-20 mins - you want them to stay soft in the centre. While they are still warm, put them gently in a bowl of icing sugar and turn to coat. Leave until completely cooled.
