Magical elks. And ducks and dragons (not included in picture).

This is a special treat to be shared during this season: Cinnamon almond cookies (the elks - not the brown blobs). Not only are they healthy (almonds do have lots of good fats and cinnamon helps with blood sugar adjustment and keeps you warm), but they also have got magical properties: Almonds for prosperity, cinnamon for prosperity and love and sugar for love and good luck. What is not to share about these? Plus, they are easily made and delicious!

You will need:

500g ground almonds
300g confectioner's sugar
2-3tsp cinnamon
2tbsp amaretto (or: 2tbsp of almond syrup) (or: 2tbsp water plus almond aroma)
2 eggwhites


Mix ingredients*, roll out on flat surface (desired thickness: 1cm), use your favorite cookie cutters and bake at 150°C (300°F) for 10-15min - until the cookies brown at the edges. They may be a bit chewy,  but that is half the fun. Store in airtight container for up to several weeks, give away or enjoy with your loved ones. 

You can easily charge these cookies by visualizing the things you want in your life while preparing the dough and cutting the cookies, or by using appropriate shapes (round cookies to resemble coins, hearts for love, stars for good luck, ...).

(I promise there will be pictures of the ducks and dragons, I was in a hurry!)


* When I first read the recipe, I thought there was not enough liquid, but it works! If after mixing the dough is still too dry, maybe add a third eggwhite. But it should work just fine like that.
