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.

Tried these cookies today and they came out perfectly. The recipe was easy, quick and left my kitchen smelling like heaven! I would recommend baking double quantities though as these disappear faster than you expect.
Quick question – Can I use the same recipe and quantities mentioned for a cashew cookie as well? Do you also have a basic butter cookie recipe? I have been trying out quite a few of your recipes and can gladly say that none of them have failed so far. Thank you so much!
Very happy to know that you liked these cookies.
Yes you can use the same for cashew cookies.
I will sure post the butter cookie recipe as time permits.
Thank you Kanan!
These are fantastic. My datch yielded ten cookies using level tablespoons. After I ate 3, I quickly made up a new double batch so there will be some for the rest of the house tomorrow. So quick and easy, plus my egg allergic friend thanks you. I keeper, and wow, yogurt, great idea.

Nice to know that you like almond cookies
Made these today. They are yummy. Thank you for the recipe.
Nice to hear that cookies came out good.
So I finally made these today … Just letting u know that it’s just another wonderful recipe … I Wonder if we add ground oats to it would that make the cookies come out more chewy?? Just wondering … The recipe is great as it is… Thanks for sharing
Nice to hear that cookies came out good. I think you can use half all purpose flour and half oats powder. But not sure how it will come out.
Is it okay to use thick curd instead of yogurt? And use the same amount as mentioned above?
Yes Moni, use the same amount of thick curd instead.
Could i use milk instead of yogurt.? Don’t have yogurt at the moment. Pls advise.
yes you can use milk.
Kanan, is the butter measurement is correct? I followed the recipe using 1/4 cup of butter but the dough is not sticky but rather dry. So the cookies were yummy but cracking. Pls adv.
Sorry for the late reply. yes I checked my notes, butter measurement is correct. I assume that you substitute the milk and the milk that you added is less thus dough is dry. Or the other reason is that milk substitute did not work for this recipe.
Awesome , all ingredients are perfectly yieding the great Taste !!!
happy to know that cookies came out good.
