Almond Cookies

Almond Cookies are simple homemade treats with a rich nutty flavor, crisp edges and a tender center. Ground almonds add both texture and flavor to a buttery cookie dough, while vanilla brings out the natural sweetness of the nuts. These cookies are ideal with tea or coffee and make a convenient dessert for parties or gift boxes. Chilling the dough briefly before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents excessive spreading. Allow them to cool fully on the baking tray so their edges become crisp.
