Almond London Cookies

Ingredients:
220gm butter
30gm shortening (note:original Yen's recipe used all 250gm butter)
130gm icing sugar
2 egg yolks
1tsp vanilla essence
450gm cookies flour, sifted (note:original Yen's recipe used plain flour)
Toasted whole almond
Toasted diced almond and melted choc for deco.

Steps:
1. Beat butter + shortening until fluffy
2. Add in egg yolks and vanilla essence
3. Add flour & mix slowly until well mixed & soft dough is formed
4. Take a spoonful of batter and cover 1 almond, shape into oval.
5. Bake for 15-20 min , 170 deg.
6. Melt chocolate & cover the biscuit. Place into paper cup & topped with diced almond.
7. Let it cool & set before packing.

Coating tips:
1) Put all baked biscuit into the bowl filled with melted chocolate. By using spoon/pengepit take out the biscuit and place in paper cup.
2) Topped with diced almond right after you have placed the biscuit into paper cup. The diced almond won't stick onto the choc if it has set & cool.
