Almond Cookies
These Almond Cookies have a tender, crumbly texture with a nutty almond flavor enhanced by almond extract and almond flour. Topped with sliced or whole almonds, the cookies offer a pleasant crunch and attractive appearance. Baking until edges slightly brown ensures a delicate crispness while keeping the center soft. They make a satisfying snack or accompaniment to tea and coffee.
