These cookies were delicious! The almond flavor was subtle but present, and the cookies were the perfect texture - crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.

These cookies were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I will try adding some nuts or chocolate chips next time.

These cookies are so easy to make and always a favorite during the holidays. I love that they can be made ahead of time and frozen, so I can always have some on hand for unexpected guests.
