List of Ingredients
Instruction

If you like almond this recipe is your.

Keep in mind that in this recipe of Cookie Calendar, you can use whole nuts, after peeling them and grinding them in a blender. Or you can do what I do: immediately take almond flour. The last option loses a little in smell (yes, it is true), but gains in time.

Important Notes

Pay attention that these cookies of Cookie Calendar bake on top level of the oven. This is quite unusual for baking, but in the case of miniature cookies, it’s necessary. This will allow the baking temperature to act more intensely on the dough, resulting in a finished cookie with attractive cracks.
