Sweet Almond Twists image

These delicate almond pastries make lovely light-as-air accompaniments for coffee, tea or cocoa. Your guests will never guess the recipe calls for packaged frozen dough. When I give them as a fresh-baked gift, I tuck in a note saying that they're best served warmed-and right away! -Gloria Devendittis, Waterford, Connecticut

The almond twists were a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more sugar next time.
