Gevulde Koeken (Almond Paste Cookies)
A gevulde koek is an almond cookie made of dough and butter with a sweet filling. Almond paste is the most common filler. An almond cookie with a diameter of about 10 cm, a half amandel on top. The top of the cake is shiny brown, an effect that is achieved through the dough to cover with beaten egg. It is a typical Dutch bakery item. The cookie is eaten with coffee, tea and hot chocolate.\n The cheaper versions ( the one you mostly buy in the supermarket) are not always filled with almond paste, many of them filled with beans instead of almond paste.\n A suggestion make the almond paste ahead of time. It will even taste better, I don't know why but it does. \n For those who are looking for more of my recipes take a look @ my page http://arrisje.com
