It is that time of the year for cookie Galore! Come, join me to make these wonderfully delicious Almond Kisses Cookies.

Almond cookies

December is here, and Christmas is in a few weeks! It means baking at a stretch which I am excited to do! Today I am sharing one of our favorite Christmas cookie recipes. Traditionally we make cakes to share with our friends and family. After my son was born, I added baking cookies as a tradition. Apart from the Almond Kisses Cookies, our favorites are Biscotti, meringue, Gingerbread, Chocolate chip cookies, chocolate peppermint, and frosted sugar cookies. I am not a big cookie fan. But I do enjoy a cookie occasionally. Especially this time of the year, you cannot resist when you see all the cookies around you.

How to make Almond Kisses Cookies

This Almond Kisses cookie dough is easy to put together and can be made ahead. I love adding 2-3 Tablespoons of almond flour to some of my cookie recipes: it gives a hint of nutty flavor. For this recipe, add a cup of almond flour for a soft and chewy cookie. 

Have all the ingredients at room temperature. These cookies bake very quickly, within 10 – 12 minutes.

Ingredients for the Cookies 

Flour – All-purpose flour and almond flour are both used in this recipe. Adding 1 cup of almond flour gives the cookie a soft and chewy texture. However, if you prefer all flour: you can replace the 1 cup of almond flour with 1 cup of all-purpose flour. 

Sugar- In this recipe calls for granulated white sugar and brown sugar. Adding brown sugar makes a chewy center. 

Butter – Use full-fat unsalted butter. If using salted butter, leave the salt out from the recipe.  

Eggs- Eggs give the cookie its structure. Use 1- large egg for this recipe. 

Baking soda– Makes soft and thick cookies.

Vanilla and Almond Extract- Adds flavor to the cookie.  

Salt – Enhances the flavor. Leave the salt out if you use salted butter. If you don’t prefer salt in your sweet treats: you can leave it out. 

 Chocolate Kisses – I used Hershey’s Almond Kisses. You can use regular chocolate kisses.

How to make Almond Kisses Cookies 

Cream the butter and sugars together in a medium bowl.
Add the egg, almond, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.

Next, add the Baking soda and salt to the flour. Mix to incorporate.
Add the dried ingredients into the wet and beat until well combined.
Cover and chill the cookie dough for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 325F / 165C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Use a 1/2 tablespoon to scoop out the chilled cookie dough and shape it into 1-inch balls. Place the cookie balls 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. (It took 10 minutes in my oven)

Take the cookie sheet out from the oven and leave the cookies in the cookie sheet for 10 minutes.
After 5 minutes, place chocolate kisses in the center of each cookie and gently press it down.

Carefully transfer each cookie onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Place the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
