Gluten-free Almond Cookies
"Ice Cream" Filling
Instructions
Gluten-free Almond Cookies
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Using a food processor or high-speed blender, grind almonds to a fine powder.
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl until they form a ball.
With your hands, roll 12 balls of cookie batter the size of a ping-pong ball and space them apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Press lightly on each ball with the palm of your hand, until cookies are about 0.8 cm (⅓ in) thick.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes at most. Cookies should be golden on the edges with a pale centre. Soft coming out of the oven, they'll harden as they cool, with a nice chewy middle. Let them cool completely.
"Ice Cream" Filling
In a food processor, mix all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Spread this chocolate cream on 6 cookies, then top with remaining 6 cookies to make sandwiches.
For an optional garnish, chop a few almonds and roll around cookie sides. Freeze sandwiches 15 minutes before serving.
Recipe Note
These cookies will keep in the refrigerator 2 to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
