Eggless almond cookies for Sweet Punch

This month's A Sweet Punch features eggless almond cookies The recipe has been chosen by Ria and is from Manjula's kitchen.
The recipe is very simple and the cookies turned out to be melt in the mouth good. It is really hard to stop eating these cookies. Though the original recipe says that you will get around 24 cookies, I got only 17 medium sized ones.

What you need:
Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Almonds - sliced, 1/4 cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Butter - 100 gms softened to room temperature
Milk - 1 tbsp (if needed)
Cardamom powder - 3/4 tsp

Take all the ingredient except butter and milk in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and knead well to a smooth dough. If needed, add some milk to make a soft dough. Pinch out medium sized balls of dough, shape it into a circle and flatten slightly between your palms.
Bake at 175 degrees for 18 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown. Let it cool for 2 minutes in the pan and then remove on to a cooling rack.
Store in an air tight container.
