Almond Softies

"Big, soft cookies with a wonderful "almondy" aroma and flavor. I can't remember where I got the recipe exactly, but I can remember having and making it for a few years. It has become a classic cookie staple in my home. If you like the flavor of almonds, you'll love these cookies; and if your cookie monsters are anything like mine, they'll be gone really fast. My mother and husband actually got into a fight over the last cookie!!"

Reviews

  1. These are a nice almondy cookie which has a very cake like texture. They got mixed reviews - DD thought they were ok, a coworker couldn't stop eating them an asked for the recipe. I skipped the sliced almonds since mine had spent too long in the freezer. With the expense of the almond filling I don't think I'll make them often though I will make them again, I especially liked them with cup of tea.
