'Famous Amos' Almond and Chocolate Chip Cookie Tutorial Recipe 杏仁巧克力饼干 (中英食谱教程）

ngeapk.blogspot.com - The first day of the Lunar New Year will arrive in four days time. This year I have very little time to bake up a storm of chinese new year goodies like I did last year as my new dry kitchen has just completed renovation last week. I have wanted to make the all time favourite melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts but I do not have much time. I have chosen a simple cookie recipe to bake for my family. This cookie is a Famous Amos copycat.
Who doesn't love a Famous Amos cookie? The aroma of the freshly baked cookies is so irresistible that I will always turn to take a look at the small round cookies whenever I walk past their stores. It has been my favourite cookie since childhood. In my younger days, I patronized often at their store located in Specialist Shopping Centre (this building had since been demolished and replaced by 313 Somerset building) as it was walking distance from my home then.
As we grow older, we tends to be more health conscious and avoid taking too sweet stuffs. The store bought cookies are way too sweet for me now and I am glad that I can replicate it at home. Here's the recipe which a friend has shared with me some time ago but I have reduced the amount of sugar used. Hope you will like it and bake it for your teatime to go along with your cup of tea or coffee.
