These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I love the almond flavor.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I made these cookies with hazelnut paste instead. They turned out just as delicious!

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, and the cookies turned out great! I used almond flour instead of almond paste, and I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cookie dough. The cookies were delicious and everyone loved them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The almond paste filling was too runny, and the cookie dough was too dry.

I'm not usually a fan of almond-flavored desserts, but these cookies are an exception. The almond paste filling is not overpowering, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet cookie dough.

These cookies are divine! I've never had anything like them before. The almond paste filling is so rich and flavorful, and the cookie dough is perfectly crumbly. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
