  1. Great cookies Bev! I increased the sugur to 1/2 cup and reduced the almonds to about half, as I only had a small amount handy to use, I also added in some vanilla, they are buttery delicious, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)
     
  2. Tried these yesterday evening but I'm not very happy with the final product. These were much less sweet than I expected. I would add more sugar next time. Baked for about 20 minutes. I like these uncooked, they taste much better. Sorry Aunt Bev, this one was a disappointment.
