THIN, CRISP ALMOND COOKIES
Very thin and especially crisp. The dough must be chilled at least 4 hours prior to baking or it can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight. Turbinado sugar, like brown sugar but paler and dryer, gives these cookies a golden color and crunch and can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Adapted from "Sweet Miniatures".
