Ini Kuih Badam are dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free cookies made with just 4 bahan and ready in under 25 minutes. They have a soft, crunchy, and lightly crumbly texture with a sweet almond taste.
Christmas and cookies are inseparable. I always make dozen of different cookie varieties in the lead up to the festive season. They are great as a quick snack, fantastic with a cup of tea or coffee, and a great gift for friends and family.
I decided to make these cookies as a gluten-free option that is still very tasty, crunchy, and delicate. Believe me, you’ll love them!

Kuih Badam
Ramuan
- 1 cawan Tepung Badam - ambil perhatian 1
- ⅓ cawan Gula serbuk - ambil perhatian 2
- 6 sudu makan Mentega Bebas Tenusu (Tanpa Garam) - cair (nota 3)
- ¼ sudu teh Ekstrak Badam - pilihan
Untuk menyalut/menghias biskut
- 8 Badam
- ⅓ cawan Gula serbuk
arahan
- Panaskan ketuhar hingga 350 °F (180 °C). Alas dulang pembakar besar dengan kertas parchment. Sapukan sedikit minyak pada kertas pembakar dengan semburan minyak masak. Ketepikan.
- Fill a small bowl with the 1/3 cup of powdered sugar. This is what you use later to coat the cookies. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir almond flour, almond extract, powdered sugar, and melted plant-based butter until the dough is sticky and consistent.
- Use a small cookie dough scoop or tablespoon to grab a small amount of cookie dough and roll it into a ball in lightly greased hands. I made 8 cookie dough balls with this recipe.
- Roll the dough ball into a bowl filled with powdered sugar. You want all sides of the cookie dough ball to be covered. Repeat for all the remaining cookie dough balls. If you want a nice crinkle effect, I recommend repeating this step twice. It means after rolling all the cookie dough balls once, do it again.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet leaving a thumb of space between each, then press a whole almond on the center of each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until sides are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool down on the cookie sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes. Don't touch them at all as they are soft at first and firm up as they cool down.
- Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack, and dip their sides into the powdered sugar again to give them a nice snowy effect.
Nota
Pemakanan
Bahan dan Pengganti
You only need 4 ingredients to make these cookies to perfection!

- Tepung Badam – Almond flour forms the base of the cookies, creating a soft, crumbly texture while boost the almond flavor. You can use almond meal, but results in a darker color and coarser texture. You can’t use other flours in this recipe. If you don’t have almond flour, try my other resepi biskut!
- Gula serbuk – Powdered sugar bring the sweetness and makes the dough smooth and soft. Sugar-free powdered erythritol is a viable substitute if needed, but liquid sweeteners like maple syrup won’t work. You need more powdered sugar for the coating. It creates a snowy, fancy finish and adds a touch of extra sweetness. Erythritol powder can also be used here.
- Mentega Bebas Tenusu – Butter bring richness and binds the ingredients together. Melted coconut oil (refined for a neutral flavor) is an excellent alternative. It probably works fine with dairy butter if you are not plant-based.
- Ekstrak Badam – This is optional but it boosts the almond flavor for a richer taste. It can be replaced with vanilla extract for a milder, more classic flavor.
- Badam – I use almonds for decoration and added crunch. You can skip these or replace them with another nut like hazelnuts or pecans.
How to Make Almond Cookies
This recipe is really easy to make, here are pictures of the key steps.

Add all the almond cookie ingredients in a mixing bowl with a spatula.

Combine the batter until it’s smooth and sticky.

Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls of the same size.

Roll the balls with your hands.

Roll the balls into a bowl full of powdered sugar and place them on a baking sheet.

Press an almond in the middle of the cookies and bake them for 12-14 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
Petua Membakar Carine
While this recipe is quite straightforward, I’ve included below a few more tips and tricks if you are struggling with baking or if you had an issue on your first attempt!
- Use Fine Almond Flour – I prefer using finely ground almond flour for smoother cookies. If using almond meal, sift it to remove larger pieces.
- Double Roll for Crinkle Effect – Roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar twice for a beautiful, distinct crinkle look after baking.
- Grease Your Hands – Lightly oil your hands when forming dough balls to prevent sticking and make rolling easier.
- Press Gently with Almonds – Press the almonds gently into the dough to avoid cracking the cookies.
- Bake Until Lightly Golden – Watch closely while baking; the cookies should be golden brown on the edges but not overbaked to maintain their soft texture.
- Sejukkan Sepenuhnya – These cookies firm up as they cool. Don’t move them from the tray until they are fully set, as they’re delicate when warm.
- Eksperimen dengan Topping – Swap the whole almonds with other decorations like chocolate chips, candied cherries, or even sprinkles for a festive twist.
- Add a Pinch of Salt – If using unsalted butter, add a tiny pinch of salt to the dough to enhance the flavors.
- Bekerja dalam Kelompok – For best results, bake in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
- Use a Cookie Scoop – This ensures even-sized cookies, which bake more uniformly.
Variasi Rasa
For a citrus twist, add a little lemon or orange zest to the dough. Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a warm, spiced flavor.
You can also change the topping, and make a cinnamon-powdered sugar mixture, and press-in an hazelnut or pecan nut.
Idea Penyajian
Serve these almond cookies with a hot cup of pumpkin spice chai latte or coffee for a comforting snack. Package them in decorative boxes as gifts for special occasions.
Petua Penyimpanan
To retain their texture, store the cookies in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to separate layers. They last for at least 4 hari di dalam peti sejuk, possibly more. But to be honest, they are very likely to be gone by then. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 1 month and thaw at room temperature before serving.
