Video Instructions
Main Ingredients:
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1Β½ Cups Confectioners’ Sugar (Plus Extra for Dusting)
- 1Β½ Cups Sliced Almonds (Plus Extra for Decorating)
- Β½ Cup Salted Butter
- 2 Tbsp Milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350Β° F. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1Β½ cups of confectioners’ sugar, and 1Β½ cups of sliced almonds. Mix well.
Mix Β½ cup of softened salted butter in the flour and nut mixture. If your dough is too dry, you can add about 2 Tbsp of milk.
Knead the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a thickness of about slightly thinner than ΒΌ inch. Cut the dough with different cookie cutter shapes. Re-roll the dough as necessary.
Place the cookie rounds on baking sheets, leaving a little space between them. Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, until they become golden brown. Depending on your oven temperature, the baking time can vary. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool. Dust thickly with sifted confectioners’ sugar before serving. Decorate with sliced almonds.
I baked these cookies for my mother-in-law on Mother’s day last year. Specially, I made big heart shape for her. hehe Maybe you can bake these yummy almond cookies for somebody you love?

Hi, layping
hehe~~ I agree ~~ π Thanks !!!
Just saw your recipe ..this was written in 2009…Just wondering if you are still posting. Very nice.π€ Someday my dream is to fly to Hawaii….. My parents had a restaurant in Oregon for a few years and called “Chung’s House” which featured my mom’s Korean recipes. She used to serve her own homemade Almond cookies after the meal. Your recipe brought back some fond memories.βΊοΈ

Hi, Farleen

Wow! Is that really all of the ingredients that go into that yummy cookie? No eggs? No vanilla extract? =) Actually, I wouldn’t know. I never baked a cookie from scratch before. The recipe seems so simple. I should definitely try that!!

Hi, ChuiYew
I know how you will feel… because using oven is not Korean cooking thing either. Nowadays, more Korean people have oven and start to bake though.. anyway..I asked if you can use microwave to my-in-laws and my husband.. the answer is oops..sorry you can’t use microwave for cookies. γ .γ
Uh.. too bad!! I seriously need to buy one OVEN to bake cakes and cookies!! Thanks for helping me asking ! THANKS LOVE You!

Hi, chuiyew
I washed my blankets and sheets..and our dryer was broken. So I had to hang them somewhere to dry. We couldn’t sleep in our bed, so we slept in different room with a smaller bad.. not enough space to move while I’m sleeping..hehe that’s the reason why I woke up that early. See you soon ~~ bye ~~ π
Hi, Alexander-Driver
Yes. this is very good recipe. Try it someday. haha.. I hope you and your wife like this as much as I do. Thanks !!!
Hi, Aeri!
I love your recipes! μ°λ¦¬ μλ§μ λ± λ§μμ ^^
and I always recommend your website to my newlywed friends who want to cook more Korean food.
but I’m so sad =*( These cookies did not look as nice as yours, when I made them.
I didn’t know how thick to roll them out – so I made them pretty thin…
but 25 minutes was toooo long. I tried 8 minutes, but the bottom still turned a dark brown – almost burnt. =(
(Luckily, they tasted GREAT! My husband couldn’t stop eating the burnt ones. kekeke =P)
Hello! This is a great recipe , easy yet delicious , but i replace it with peanuts instead and it still taste great. Love your recipes so much , please post more cookies/cake recipe. Thanks! π
Hi Aeri!
What’s the temperature of the oven when you baked it for 25 mins?
Thank you!
hi Bonny,
I mentioned … preheat the oven to 350Β° F…so the oven temperature will be that. π
Hi aeri,
I need some help here, I tried this recipe but somehow it came out like a hard rock, though smells great. Where did I go wrong? When I was mixing the dough, the mixture was not binding together, kept falling apart. I did add a bit milk but still falling apart? What was the reason?
Thx a lot. And I love your recipes. Keep it up!
Angela
hi Angela,
Mine wasn’t that bad like yours but.. yes my dough was aparting little bit when I rolled it… but it was because of the almonds..not the dough itself.. anyway.. This cookie is crunchy side one than soft cookie..but shouldn’t like a hard rock.. ^^;; it’s hard for me to tell what was wrong with me because I didn’t see what you did..what kind of ingredients you used.. sorry for poor answer.. did you have any changes for your own when you tried this recipe or you followed exact the same ?? thanks
Hi aeri,
I will try them again but just curious, did you put all 25 in together? Because the only thing I could think of is that my cookie was rolled a bit too thin and I only baked 6 at a time. They became brown quite quickly… Anyway, I will try again.
Thx a lot for ur response.
Angela
hi Angela,
I baked them in 2 cooking sheets.. you can check how quickly they turn into brown.. and adjust the baking time too. thanks
