KLETSKOPPEN (Dutch Almond Cookies)
« on: December 06, 2011, 01:35:24 am »
This recipe comes from the Dutch Australian Society.  Makes quite a few as you use such small amounts of dough.  They are a bit like brandy snaps so could be shaped if you wish.  I think they would also taste nice if you used powdered ginger instead of the cinnamon.

KLETSKOPPEN  (Dutch Almond Cookies)

Ingredients :-   50g butter
                      150g soft brown sugar
                      75g plain flour
                      1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
                      50g chopped or slivered almonds
                      2 teaspoons water

Method:-

Preheat oven to 180C (350F)
Place butter in to TM and melt  1min  100deg  speed 1
Place all other ings into TM and mix using the dough setting until a soft dough is formed (about 30 secs).
Roll into small balls, flatten them and place onto a lined baking tray.  Only put about 4 onto each tray as they will spread a lot.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes, watching them closely .  They should spread into lacy thin cookies, but be careful they don't burn.

Remove from the oven and leave for a minute to harden slightly, then remove with a spatula to a rack and leave to cool completely.

ES - I was going to make brandy snap baskets for Christmas, but I found this recipe instead. I'm glad that I did as these are delicious. I used flaked almonds and shaped them over the bottom of a coffee mugs once they had been out of the oven for a minute or so. I served some of them with scoops of home-made ice-cream and others with fruit salad. I prefer these to brandy snaps.

These sound delicious.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

These sound lovely. I have copied the recipe into my file and will make them with the GD's when they come.
