Oatmeal & Almond Crisp/Cookies

My sister gave me this awesome recipe a while back and I finally tried it out. It’s really good!! Trust me, we have been baking this on a weekly basis. It’s become our favourite snack. Hubby said it reminds him of the yummy CNY biscuits back home. Give it a try and I am sure you will love it. Try to roll it as thin as possible to get a nice crisp.

50 g (9 tb) Oatmeal
85 g (1/2 cup) Almond, minced
40 g (5 tb) Icing sugar
1/2 tsp Baking powder
90 g Butter, unsalted, room temperature **
1/3 tsp Salt
15 g (1 1/2 tb) Plain flour
