All about the almond cookies for Hari Raya

 


Almond cookies are one of the most famous cookies consumed during the annual Hari Raya Puasa festival. They are simply crispy, buttery, soluble (melt in your mouth easily) and, to top it off, full of almond flavour. People adore them because of their tasty delicacies. The almond cookies make great Hari Raya cookies.

The roots of almond cookies are a source of contention, with a variety of legends. However, the most popular story about almond cookies is that Chinese immigrants to the United States use almonds from the United States to make cookies, similar to how Chinese walnut cookies are made. These Chinese almond cookies are said to imitate and symbolise coins, which is a very superstitious belief. People shop for these almond cookies or the raw materials – ingredients and recipes – to produce them as a result. In Singapore, the Chinese persuaded their Muslim Malay and Indian mates to eat the almond cookies. During Hari Raya Puasa, they feast on these almond cookies as Hari Raya cookies.

Almond cookies have a crumbly texture and a crispy bite, and they have a strong almond scent that lingers in your mouth. These Hari Raya cookies are soft and melt in the mouth like chocolate, so even those without teeth will enjoy them. The mild saltiness counteracts the sweetness of the dish. People drink coffee or tea with all of these almond cookies as a bonus effect.


It is possible that the ingredients and recipes used in the baking of almond cookies are worth mentioning. In Singapore, almond cookies are usually made with Southeast Asian ingredients, with Nyonya styles accounting for the majority of them. Almond flour and almond nuts are the most widely used ingredients. Almond flour, in reality, is made from ground almond nuts.

Almond cookies are easy to make, but you must have the right ingredients. Aside from almond nuts and flour, baking soda, peanut oil, powdered sugar, salt, wheat flour, and egg yolk are needed. Form the doughs into ball shapes after mixing the ingredients and kneading them into doughs. Then bake them in the oven for around 3 hours at 180 degrees Celsius after preheating them. After that, the almond cookies must be allowed to cool completely before being placed in airtight containers.

Since these almond cookies are ready to eat, people usually save them for the Hari Raya Puasa festivals, where they can be shared during gatherings. Some of them will sell their homemade almond cookie bakeries to make a few extra dollars here and there. If you are short on time when it comes to baking, these Hari Raya Puasa almond cookies are a good option. During the holiday season, they are often shown in store sections or even shopping malls. It would not be difficult to obtain the best almond cookies from the stores at discounted rates.

The almond cookies, as well as the pineapple tarts and kueh bangkit, are common Hari Raya Puasa treats. They are also easy to eat, unlike some of the tougher Hari Raya cookies. These almond cookies would appeal to people of all ages.
