Badam cookies or Almond cookies are certainly not an Indian invention. But the famous cookie definitely got a new makeover in India with no eggs, delicious butter, and a crispy texture.

Unlike the traditional almond cookies, this one is crispier and super yummy. And this teatime snack has its own regal position in many Indian households. So here you go. Presenting my version of badam or Almond cookies.

In India, tea is not just a beverage but a culture, and cookies or biscuits are an essential part of the tea-time experience. Indian cookies are known for their unique flavor and texture, and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. Some popular types of Indian cookies include almond cookies, coconut cookies, nankhatai, Karachi biscuits, and many more.

Tea and cookies are often enjoyed during the mid-morning or late afternoon, and it's a common practice in Indian households to offer tea and snacks to guests. Tea stalls, roadside eateries, and bakeries also offer a wide variety of cookies and snacks for customers to enjoy with their tea.

In recent years, Indian cookies and teatime snacks have gained popularity not only in India but also globally. Many Indian brands have started exporting their products to countries like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Moreover, Indian cookies and snacks are also gaining popularity among non-Indian communities, and they are often included in high tea menus and offered as gifts during festive seasons.

Here is my recipe for Indian eggless almond cookies.
