Spiced Almond Cookies image

These cookies are my all-time favorite! The recipe has won ribbons at fairs and applause from family and guests alike. One of the reasons I like it is that I can make the dough and freeze it. Then, when I need another batch of cookies, I take a "log" out of the freezer, thaw it and make fresh cookies in minutes. -Wanda Daily, Milwaukie, Oregon

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably try making them again with less sugar next time.
