7 cups ground almonds

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, they were easy to make and had a nice texture.

I wasn't a big fan of these cookies. They were a bit too dry and crumbly for my taste. I think I'll stick to my old cookie recipe.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might try adding a little bit of butter or oil next time. Otherwise, they were still pretty good.

These cookies are so delicious and easy to make. I love that they're made with almond flour, which makes them a healthier option than traditional cookies. They're also gluten-free, which is a bonus for me. I'll definitely be making these again!
