I'm not a huge fan of almond, but I thought I'd give these cookies a try anyway. I'm glad I did because they were surprisingly delicious! The almond flavor was subtle and the cookies were perfectly sweet.

These cookies were a total disaster! The dough was impossible to work with and the cookies ended up burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
