Use fresh ingredients: This will help ensure that your poppy seed almond slices are as flavorful as possible.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before slicing them: This will help prevent them from breaking.

Poppy seed almond slices are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover poppy seeds and almond paste, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
