These almond cookies are one of the popular cookies made during Chinese New Year. You can see them in different shapes and sizes all lined up in asian super markets during this time of the year. I happened to learn this recipe from one of my chinese friend, when i lived in singapore. The cookie has a crumbly texture to it and it melts in your mouth similar to a butter cookie. They are incredibly easy to make and makes a great snack for kids.
I have uploaded a small video on making the cookie, hope you like it!

NOTES

- Almond meal is nothing but almond flour made with raw blanched almond.
- Using an egg wash gives the cookie nice glaze and color on the top but its totally optional.
