King Arthur Almond Cloud Cookie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
• Blend the almond paste and sugar until the mixture forms fine crumbs; this is best done in a stand mixer.
• Add the egg whites gradually, while mixing, to make a smooth paste.
• Stir in the flavorings.
• Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared pans.
• Sprinkle the cookies heavily with confectioners' sugar, then use three fingers to press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
• Bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven, and let them cool right on the pan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325. Line cookie sheets with parchment.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, molasses, egg and vanilla. Beat until light-colored and smooth.
• In a food processor or blender, process the oats, flour, raisins, salt and baking powder for about 30 seconds, or until both the oats and raisins are chopped, yet still in recognizable pieces.
• Beat the oat mixture into the butter mixture until smooth.
• Using a 1/4 cup measure or large cookie scoop, drop the dough on the cookie sheets, leaving 3 inches between cookies.
• Moisten your fingers and gently flatten each cookie to a 2 1/2 inch round or 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake the cookies for 18 minutes or until they're a medium golden brown.
• Remove them from the oven and let rest on the cookie sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• The cookies will be soft and delicate when they come out of the oven, but will get firmer as they cool.

• Stir in the raisins and oats.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the bkaing soda, cinnamon, salt and flour. Add this mixture, a cup at at ime, to the oat mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the nuts. Let the dough rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
