These cookies are best eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These cookies are a bit fragile, so be careful when you're handling them. I usually use a spatula to transfer them from the baking sheet to a cooling rack.

I've made these cookies with different nuts, such as walnuts and pecans. They're always delicious, no matter what kind of nut I use.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cream cheese. I always have a few bricks of cream cheese left over from making other recipes, and these cookies are a perfect way to use them up.

I've made these cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make them a day or two before I need them, and they're always just as good.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over from making other recipes, and these cookies are a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of almond-flavored desserts, but these cookies are an exception. They're so light and fluffy, and the almond flavor is perfectly balanced.
