Cook Time 20 mins
- 140 g Ground walnuts
- 140 g Almond meal/flour
- 1 large Egg
- 80 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 3 tbs Icing sugar
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 10 Walnuts
- 10 Almonds
In a bowl, add the ground walnuts, almonds, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Add the egg and mix well to combine all the ingredients. You have to get a sticky smooth paste/dough.
Shape the dough into balls (approximately 14g each).
On a plate, put the icing sugar and roll the dough balls one by one in the sugar. Coat them well and transfer them onto a tray with parchment sheet.
Press on the balls to slightly flatten then but not too much.
Place a piece of walnut or almond in the middle, then bake in a preheated 180C oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The biscuits should crack on the edges . Just yummy ? Enjoy
