Ginger-Almond Shortbread Cookies image

A not too sweet cookie, nice to have on hand or to add to a tray of different cookies. This came from a friends Jewish Grandmother who used to fix them for us occasionally.

These cookies were a waste of time and ingredients. They were dry and crumbly, and they had no flavor.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. I would definitely make them again, but I might make a few adjustments to the recipe.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I thought these cookies were still really good. The almond flavor really shines through.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the ginger and almond flavors worked together. I'll be experimenting with other flavor combinations in the future.
