I'm not a big fan of almond cookies, but I made these for a friend and they were really good. I might even make them again for myself.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I've tried many almond cookie recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The cookies are soft and chewy on the inside, with a nice crispy exterior. I also love the subtle almond flavor.
