I love that this recipe uses almond extract. It adds a subtle but noticeable depth of flavor that elevates the cookies beyond the ordinary.

I've tried this recipe with both butter and margarine, and I have to say, butter definitely makes a difference. The cookies have a richer flavor and a more delicate texture when made with butter.

These cookies are a bit more work than some other recipes, but they're worth the extra effort. The chilling time allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a truly exceptional cookie.
