I made this cookie today. I didn't have almond extract, so used a little extra vanilla extract. Loved this cookie and can't wait to try it with the almond extract! I need yo stop eating them now. I had to call my step son and promise to bring him some so I wouldn't eat them all! They are delicious! -
Great taste. I made two changes. I cooked the balls without pressing them down with a fork. I added Hershey Kisses with Almonds right after they came out of the oven. They are much better than peanut butter blossoms. I did not have the almond extract. With half of the 48 cookies, I rolled the cookie balls in finely chopped raw natural almonds. Next time I will use the almond extract. I will call them Almond Butter Blossoms. -
Great Cookie!!! My son LOVES them, My only complaint is that even though the cookie dough smelled and tasted beautifully like almonds ..... the taste was a little lost as they cooked. But definitely a cookie that I will continue to make! -
I really liked these,something different from peanut butter cookies.These are very delicious.Next time I'd make them a little smaller because they do tend to spread out and stick together when they're bigger. -
These are SO much better than peanut butter cookies. The smell and taste of the almond extract is heaven. Two thumbs up! Thanks for posting!!
