Baking Procedure

  • Get one cup of almonds and put them in a food processor. Put the processor in a high-speed mode to make the almonds to a fine powder form.
  • Get a mixing bowl, beat the butter (or optional margarine) until it is of a fluffy consistency. Add the sugar variants and beat again until they are all evenly incorporated. Put in the egg whites and vanilla, and then beat again. Lastly, add the flour and almond powder and beat until you have acquired sticky dough.
  • Flour a flat surface and put the dough over it. Flour your hands, too, and knead the dough for around 5 minutes or until you get a smooth dough.
  • Get your cookie sheet and line it with non-stick baking paper.
  • Break off a piece of dough in the size of a walnut and roll it between your palms, making a small ball.
  • Roll the half sphere of the ball over the granulated sugar. Flip over the ball, making sure that the sugared part is right on top. Get a fork and gently press down the tines onto the ball to make it flat.
  • Align the dough pieces (or cookies) along with the cookie sheet with the paper lining. Observe a half-inch space between cookies.
  • Now, get your whole almonds and press one almond at the centre of each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies in a 175-degree Celsius heat (or approximately 350-degree Fahrenheit) for about 15 minutes or until slightly brown.
  • Get the cookies out of the oven and let them cool a bit before serving alongside tea or coffee.

What is Turkish Almond Cookie

How To Bake Turkish Almond Cookie Or Bademli Kurabiyesi - 10 Easy Steps

If you are looking for a sweet treat that is traditional to Turkey, try an acibadem cookie. These cookies are made from a combination of almonds, sugar, and egg whites. Although these delicious treats are traditionally bitter, modern recipes use almond extract instead of the actual nuts. These cookies can be found in almost any bakery in Turkey. They are delicious and have a unique flavor that will appeal to any palate.

The name acibadem derives from the bitter almond that is sprinkled on top. This cookie is sweet and delicious, and goes well with a cup of Turkish tea or well-brewed black tea. They are also great with milk or honey. When you are making these cookies, be sure to leave about half an inch of space between each cookie. Bake these treats at a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and you’ll be surprised at how delicious they are!

Traditionally, this cookie is made with semolina, a flour-based flour. Its almond flavor comes from the almonds placed on the cookie. These cookies pair well with a cup of hot Turkish tea and taste great with a little bit of honey. They’re also great with classic chocolate desserts, such as cheesecake and tiramisu. These cookies keep well in the refrigerator. You can buy them from a local bakery, online, or at a specialty food store.

Tips for making Turkish Almond Cookie

How To Bake Turkish Almond Cookie Or Bademli Kurabiyesi - 10 Easy Steps

The first step to baking this delicious treat is to prepare the ingredients. This recipe is extremely simple, and only requires four ingredients. It is similar to a marzipan cookie, but is dairy- and gluten-free. It can be made for anyone with dietary restrictions. Make sure you have room temperature egg whites and almond flour. This will help the cookies rise evenly. If you are worried about allergies, don’t worry, this recipe is suitable for you.

The next step is to heat the ingredients over medium heat. The mixture should be warm, but not boiling. When it reaches this temperature, spread the dough over lemon juice and let it cool. Then, using a spatula, spoon the dough onto the baking sheet. Once the dough is ready, sprinkle a few almonds on top. Bake for 45 minutes without opening the oven door. If you are making the cookies at home, you can use almond meal instead.

They are traditionally served warm. But, if you are preparing the cookies ahead of time, they will stay fresher for longer. If you do not have a fridge, you should leave the dough in the fridge for about an hour.
