These almond rusks were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I would bake them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These rusks were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These rusks were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or oil to the dough next time.

I'm not usually a fan of almond-flavored desserts, but these rusks were surprisingly delicious. The almond flavor was not overpowering, and the texture was just right. I would definitely make these again.
