Some months ago I combed through a new asian supermarket in my capital city & happened to take a certain cookie jar with a red lid just before leaving the store. Simply because it looked cute & it surprisingly only consisted of a few ingredients, all of them compatible with my many food intolerances. These turned out to be some of the most delicious cookies I’ve ever had. When the dreaded day came that the cookie jar was emptied I tried to find them online, but without success. So I searched for “Chinese almond cookies” recipes, hoping to recreate at least sth similar. When I read the sentence about the cookies in a jar with a red lid I knew I didn’t only find a similar recipe, but the real deal. I couldn’t believe my luck! Last night I made them for the first time & they turned out more than perfect. They’re 100% the cookies I fell in love with, and now I can make them on my own whenever I crave them. They’ve become one of my “safe foods” for when I’m dealing with issues around my intolerances, so I can’t thank you enough for recreating these & making it available. Also, this isn’t the first recipe of yours that I’ve tried & they’ve all become new favorites of mine so far! My favorite recipe blog on the internet ❤️

In reply to Kin Lawson. Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, using only almond flour won’t work for this recipe, as the cookies won’t hold their shape or have the right texture. I haven’t tested this recipe with gluten-free flour, so I’m not sure how it would turn out. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!

Hello

Is there anyway of making these gluten free at all? Or can you use just almond flour and not combine it with all purpose flour?

Thanks

I’ve made soft chewy almond cookies before. I wasn’t sure if I would like this recipe. The result was fantastic! So crumbly and tasty. I prefer this version now. Thanks!
