Wheat Almond & Palm Sugar Cookies

It's been a while I baked anything substantial- breads, cakes, cookies et al were happily devoured form the fresh offerings of a newly opened bakery shop near my home and there was no reason to really flex my muscle (hee hee). I had to turn my attention to our OTG when my son was happily making the oven his play station --to store his cars & bikes and to top that the knobs of the gadget got the royal treatment of being simulated to resemble racing in a car.That was it, I had to respond to my OTG's request to change the place as well as to give it some action. These almond sugar cookies that got my attention for its simplicity had a lovely transformation in the oven and it changed from a flour mix to beautiful melt in the mouth cookies.

A few twists to the original recipe in the form of replacing sugar with palm sugar as well as adding a pinch of salt to the dough was done and voila my hearth was buzzing with delicious almond aroma !!!!
