I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies didn't turn out at all. They were dry and crumbly.

These cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overmixed the dough.

I'm not a huge fan of almond-flavored desserts, but I really enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet and the almond flavor is subtle.
