Tips:

Choose the right almonds: Use blanched almond flour for a finer texture and a milder flavor. If using whole almonds, make sure to grind them finely in a food processor or blender.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape and texture.
