Keksići od badema/Almond cookies

Please, scroll down for recipe in English

Ovo je jedan od uobičajenih  bakinih recepata za prhke keksiće kojemu sam dodala bademe (mljevene i krupno sjeckane), margarin zamijenila maslacem, smanjila količinu jaja i šećera i dobila savršene keksiće koji podsjećaju na Američke (chewy) chip cookies. 

Mi ih obožavamo, a sutradan su božanstveno mekani, ukoliko ih čuvate u limenoj ili Tupperware kutijicama na sobnoj temperaturi. Mogu trajati do tri dana (mogu oni stajati i duže, ali zbog jaja ne preferiram).

Obavezno poslužiti uz čašu mlijeka!

Keksići od badema

(za 20-ak keksića)

       Potrebni sastojci:

       Za keksiće:

·         60 g mljevenih badema

....................................................................................................................................................

·         60 g grubo sjeckanih badema

....................................................................................................................................................

·         180 g glatkog pšeničnog brašna

....................................................................................................................................................

·         60 g maslaca, sobne temperature

....................................................................................................................................................

·         5 žlica kristal šećera

....................................................................................................................................................

·         1 cijelo jaje

....................................................................................................................................................

·         1 žličica arome vanilije

....................................................................................................................................................

·         1/2 žličice sode bikarbone

....................................................................................................................................................

·         prstohvat soli

....................................................................................................................................................

      Za bademe:

·         20-ak komada cijelih badema

....................................................................................................................................................

·         120 ml vruće vode

....................................................................................................................................................

·         šećer u prahu za posipanje

....................................................................................................................................................

      Priprema:

·         Pećnicu zagrijte na 170°C.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Tepsiju za pečenje kolača premažite s malo maslaca te pobrašnite u tankom sloju.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Cijele bademe (20-ak komada) stavite u manju zdjelu pa prelijte s 2 dl kipuće vode. Ostavite da odstoje najmanje 5 minuta. Nakon što su bademi odstajali, izvadite ih iz kipuće vode, skinite im kožicu, a vodu prolijte. Oguljene bademe pobrišite suhom kuhinjskom krpom. Ostaviti sa strane.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         U zdjeli, brašno pomiješati s šećerom, soli, sodom bikarbonom, mljevenim te krupno sjeckanim bademima.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Brašnu dodati jaje, aromu vanilije te maslac narezan na listiće.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Sve sastojke dobro promiješati pa zamijesiti glatko tijesto. Nemojte dodavati previše brašna čak i ako vam se tijesto malkice lijepi za ruke, jer će vam kasnije keksići biti tvrđi.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Tijesto razvaljajte u valjčić debljine 2 cm, a potom narežite na komadiće 2x2 cm.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Svaki komadić tijesta oblikujte u kuglicu veličine oraha, pa ju dlanom pritisnite/spljoštite  prema radnoj površini.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Spljoštene keksiće tupim nožem podignite od radne ploče pa ih premjestite u tepsiju, vodeći računa da su najmanje 2 cm udaljeni jedan od drugih. U sredinu svakog keksića utisnite oguljeni badem.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Pecite na istoj temperaturi na kojoj ste zagrijali pećnicu, oko 10-12 minuta (pazeći da ne požute).

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Pečene keksiće izvadite iz tepsije, ostavite 2 minute da se ohlade na sobnoj temperaturi, a potom iz izvadite ih tepsije.

....................................................................................................................................................

·         Prije posluživanja možete ih posuti šećerom u prahu ili zatvoriti u limenu kutijicu za kasniju uporabu.

English version

This is usual grandma's recipe for crispy cookies, which I added some almonds (ground and roughly chopped), margarine replaced with butter, reduce the amount of eggs and sugar, so I got a perfect cookies which remind me of American (chewy) chip cookies. 

We adore them, and the next day they are heavenly soft, if kept in tin or 

Tupperware boxes at room temperature. Can last up to three days (they can stand up longer, but because eggs I do not prefer).
Be sure to serve with a glass of milk!
