Ingredients:
For the Almond Milk:
- 200g almonds, soaked for 4 hours
- 1L water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Biscuits:
- 100g almonds
- 50g hazelnuts
- 50g peanuts
- 100g milk chocolate
To Glaze:
- 100g milk chocolate
- 50ml cream
Instructions:
1. Make Almond Milk:
- Drain and rinse the soaked almonds.
- Place the soaked almonds in a blender with 1 liter of water, honey, and cinnamon.
- Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the almond milk from the almond pulp. Set aside the almond milk for later use.
2. Prepare the Nuts:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the almonds, hazelnuts, and peanuts on a baking sheet.
- Toast the nuts in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until they are lightly browned. Be sure to check and stir them occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once toasted, remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool.
3. Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a food processor, combine the toasted nuts and milk chocolate. Pulse the mixture until you have a coarse, nutty texture.
4. Form Cookies:
- Take small portions of the nut and chocolate mixture and roll them into small cookie-sized balls.
- Place the nut cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Bake the nut cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are slightly crispy on the outside.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
6. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk chocolate and cream.
- Heat over low heat, stirring continuously, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
7. Glaze the Cookies:
- Dip each cooled nut cookie into the chocolate glaze, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the glazed cookies back on the parchment paper to set.
8. Serve:
- Once the chocolate glaze has set, your almond cookies with nuts are ready to be enjoyed.
These almond cookies with a nutty crunch and a smooth chocolate glaze are a delightful treat that everyone will love. Enjoy your homemade cookies! 😍❤️
