These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too dry and the cookies fell apart when I tried to shape them.

The dough was a bit crumbly, but the cookies still turned out okay. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of almond desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The dough was easy to work with and the cookies baked up beautifully.

These cookies were delicious! I used a food processor to make the dough, which made it really easy. They turned out perfectly golden brown and the almond flavor was amazing.

I've made these almond crescents several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so light and flaky, and the almond flavor is just perfect.
