I have to confess that when I saw this recipe I thought these cookies wouldn't be very nice(that's because using rice flour to make cookies is something I got to know only when I saw this recipe).So, I was a little reluctant to try them. Then I decided that I really had to try them just to know whether I was right or wrong. I'm SO GLAD I was wrong! LOL. These are WONDERFUL! When baked they look like as though they were bought from a bakery(I mean it!). They taste wonderful; they are a little chewy and when you bite into them, you get the taste of rice flour and almonds. These cookies took exactly 20 minutes to bake in my pre-heated oven at 160C. They look so pretty(since I make bigger cookies than usual, this recipe made exactly 9 cookies for me and 12 blanched and halved almonds were almost double to what I required since I had fewer cookies, so, I stuffed 3 little almond slices in each cookie, and as they baked, the slices sunk more into the cookie with a little of the almond popping up! Looks really cute!) These will be wonderful cookies to have on hand in the winter months. I have 4 bags of rice flour and now I know exactly what I'm going to do with them;-)! Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH for sharing this recipe!

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question.
I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc.
