Almond Thumbprint Cookies RecipeOrigin: America Period: Traditional |
|
This is a classic Medieval lenten pie (ie no meat) that is still commonly made in Kent today. Ingredients
280g plain flour 
Almond Thumbprint Cookies Preparation:Method:Sift together the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl then cube the butter and rub into the flour mixture with your fingertips until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the almonds and vanilla then stir to combine. Work the mixture with your fingers until it comes together as a dough (add a little water if necessary). Tear off pieces of the dough and shape into 3cm balls. Place these on a greased baking tray and use your thumb to make a depression in the centre of each. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Use the end of a knife to dent the top of the cookie once more then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, combine the butter, cream and sugar for the icing in a bowl. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes before beating in the icing sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and thick. As soon as the cookies are cold fill the depressions in them with the icing mix and sprinkle some of the chopped pistachio nuts over the top.
