How to make eggless almond cookies:
1) Take dry ingredients (All purpose flour, almond powder, baking powder and salt) in a bowl. You can use almond meal or almond flour in place of ground almonds. I have just ground whole almonds into a powder.
2) Whisk it well till it gets incorporated.
3) In another bowl, take soften butter and sugar. Beat it till it is light and smooth.
4) After that add yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Again beat it well.
5) Add dry flour mixture.
6) And mix in with spatula or wooden spoon till it gets all combined. Dough will be sticky at this time. Chill the dough into the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes and it won't be sticky anymore.
7) Meanwhile pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for at least 10 minutes.
8) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternately you can spray with nonstick oil spray or grease it well with butter.
9) Make tablespoon size round balls, arrange them on the prepared sheet. Make sure to keep them few inches apart. They will spread as they bake.
10) Arrange the slivered or halved almonds on top of each cookie and slightly press so it will stick.
11) Bake into preheated oven for about 15-17 minutes. Edges will starts to golden brown and center will be still little on softer side.
12) Remove it from the oven and let it cool into the sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to cooling rack and let it cool completely.
Serving suggestion: Enjoy this almond cookies as such any time of the day. It can be served with a cup of tea or coffee.

Just wanted to let you know, these cookies were out of this world. I wanted to make traditional ricciarelli cookies but I needed an eggless version. This recipe was a hit with my family and they encouraged me to write a note thanking you for providing this recipe. I did a minor modification by adding orange rind and some orange oil and dusted with powdered sugar. My only regret was I didn't make enough!!! I'll have to double the recipe next time!
