Ingredients

3 cups almonds
1 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (packed) brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 recipe - 3 eggs
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Toast almonds in jelly roll pan for 10 minutes. Let cool. Grind finely 1/4 of the almonds, mix with 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and set aside.
Grind coarsely the remaining 3/4 almonds and set aside. In a large bowl stir together flour, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the butter and stir until all ingredients are combined.
Stir in coarsely ground almonds and the 2 of the eggs, then knead the dough in the bowl until all ingredients are combined. Divide dough in half.
Form each half into a rectangle 15 X 4 inches. Transfer rectangles to baking sheets which have been buttered and floured. Brush rectangles well with 1 egg combined with 2 tablespoons of milk. Sprinkle with reserved almond/sugar mixture. Bake them in the upper third of the oven (375 degrees F - 190 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and skewer comes out clean.
Cut rectangles crosswise into slices 3/4 inch thick. Let stand 15 minutes in the turned-off oven. Transfer to racks and let cool thoroughly.

Overall, I thought these biscuits were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either. I probably wouldn't make them again.

These biscuits are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would add a little bit more flour to the dough next time.

These biscuits are too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of the almond flavor in these biscuits. I think I would prefer a more traditional flavor, like chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin.

These biscuits are a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little bit of milk or water to the dough next time.

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in my fridge, and these biscuits are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted almond flour with oat flour. The biscuits still turned out great. They're a bit denser than the traditional recipe, but they're still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of almond flavored desserts, but these biscuits were surprisingly good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, delicate flavor.
