These have got to be one of my favorite cookies as a kid. One of the first cookies I ever made on my own as a kid. So easy to make, no special equipment required and an absolute treat to eat. For me, I have to have a good cup of hot steaming chai with these.

Yup, that’s how I remember mom having her afternoon tea too. One cookie with a cup of chai. We always had the cookie jar with cookies as kids so mom would indulge in just that one cookie every day.  I love cookies too but I must admit while my cookie jar is always full I never indulge in a cookie every day. But these are one I do enjoy whenever I make them.

They are my Rhea’s favorite. She loves to make the balls and dip them in sugar. And she loves chewy cookies so these are definitely her absolute treat.

Let’s talk ingredients and Substitutes (save/pin)

  • Almond meal – I use a ready-made almond meal that I buy at a local shop. And yet, it’s easy to make the almond meal at home too. Just pulse blanched almonds in a food processor with some of the sugar until you have a fine powder. In these cookies, the almond meal does not have to be sieved so don’t’ overdo it.
  • Yogurt – I use yogurt so I don’t have to use egg. And yet, you are welcome to replace the yogurt with one egg. Also, the yogurt does give it a nice creamy texture.
  • Flavoring – I like to use the almond extract to enhance the flavor but you are welcome to use just vanilla or just almonds too.

Nut-Free? yes of course

While I know we love nuts and I try to add it for my kids as much as possible there are many who can’t have nuts. Just replace the almond meal with the same amount of flour.

Useful Tips and Tools

  • I’m not a slave to mixers. And yet, when you need some good creaming I have to insist that you use the K-Mix or Kitchen Aid.
  • A good baking tray is always important. Try using a light colored baking trayBaking tray. Another option is to line the baking tray with Parchment Paper.
  • If you aren’t going to fill or decorate these cookies a regular rolling pin will work just fine. And yet, a Cookie rolling pin has the side spacers that will also help you with rolling. So all your cookies are leveled and bake evenly.
  • Also, it is really important to cool cookies completely on all sides as soon as they come out of the oven. So take them off the baking tray to prevent them cooking further and place them on a Cooking rack so they air circulates on all sides. This prevents steam from going back into the cookie thus…… keeping them crispy not soggy.
  • Always bake cookies on the center rack of your Oven. If you have more than one tray simply bake them one at a time. You can bake two trays at the same time, and yet this can lead to some of the cookies in the bottom tray spreading too much. Also, you can rotate the trays during the baking. This is helpful with some cookies.
  • Most cookies usually bake between 10 to 12 minutes. These took me about 10 minutes. Since cookies bake quickly they can also get over-baked. This is due to our tendency to get distracted at the last minute. Hence, my solution is a kitchen timer that is always set to 10 minutes. I turn it on as soon as I place the cookies in the oven. This has saved me many cookies since my kids always keep me busy.

Frequently asked questions

How long will these almond Crinkle Cookies Keep?

These lemon cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. You can freeze the dough for up to a month or freeze the cookies for up to three months.

How do you fix cookies that spread too much? How to prevent cookies from spreading?

These will spread a bit but should not spread too much.
Too much butter or sugar in the recipe can lead to cookies spreading.
Too much baking powder or baking soda can also make cookies spread too much.
Also, chill the cookie dough before rolling the cookies.
Place cookies on a cold, not hot baking pan. 
And make sure the oven is at the right temperature. 

How long should you chill the dough before baking?

I usually chill my cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes. It is always a good practice to refrigerate cookies while the oven is preheating. Chilling cookie dough helps solidify the butter in the cookies. This helps when baking by preventing them from spreading since chilled dough takes longer to melt compared to room temperature fat. 

Why did my almond crinkle cookies spread too much?

Always make sure the oven is preheated well before adding the cookies. A cold oven will result in over-spread cookies. If you live in a warm place it’s best to chill the cookies on the tray before baking this will prevent them from spreading too much.

Is it ok to chill cookie dough overnight? Do I have to make the cookies immediately?

These almond cookies have a good shelf life as a dough as well as cookies.
The dough, if wrapped well, can usually stay in the fridge for 5 to 6 days before rolling and baking.
And you can even cover the cookies and place them on a parchment-lined tray, wrapped well with cling wrap, for about 3 to 4 days.
In addition, sugar cookies dough can be frozen for a month or more if covered well.
Hence, it’s a great dough to have on hand in the freezer during the busy festive season.

Can I add lemon to these eggless crinkle cookies?

Actually, I do have a wonderful lemon crinkle cookie recipe that is wonderful.

Can I add chocolate to make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies?

Actually, I do have a wonderful ginger chocolate crinkle cookies. You can omit the ginger if you want but the chocolate in that is wonderful.

    Do these cookies spread in the oven.?? And would it give the same result if we used flour instead of the almond meal for those who have a nut allergy? As in would they still be as crinkly and chewy? Thanks !

    Reply

    • Veena Azmanov

      Hey Veera, Yes the cookies do spread a little. You place the dough balls on the cookie sheet and when baked they are flat. You can use flour instead of almond meal but they won’t spread as much. You can also substitute some almond flour semolina, rice flour or cornstarch. The addition of flour will make them a bit crispier.
