100gramslight brown sugar (NOTE 1)
1.5 tablespoonsmilk (NOTE 2)
1/4 teaspooncinnamon
1/8teaspoonsalt
30gramspeeled almonds (NOTE 3)
50gramsall-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use peeled almonds. I created a separate post how to do this. It is very simple and quick. (NOTE 4)
Mix butter, sugar and milk in a bowl.
Mix flour, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl.
Transfer peeled almonds to a food processor and process until small particles. Don't grind it to dust. You can also chop it if you don't have a grinder or food processor.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and add almonds next and mix until blended.
Transfer dough into a piping bag and pipe small balls of dough onto the prepared baking dish. Place them far apart because they will flatten out completely. (NOTE 5)
Bake the cookies 5-10 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking dish for a few minutes and when they become harder, transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
Both light brown or dark brown sugar will work, obviously, the color of the cookies will differ.
Use water or coffee instead of milk.
You can also use peanuts if you prefer.
