These cookies were good, but not great. They were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of almond cookies, but these ones are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice chewy texture. I'll definitely be making them again.

I've tried many almond cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They're also incredibly flavorful, with the perfect balance of sweetness and almond flavor.
