Wow! This looks awesome! A must try recipe I would say! ?
-
These look so delicious and fun!

When I made these, I found that one teaspoon of almond extract was a little too much. I also baked them for ten minutes and they were nowhere near being done. They flattened out a little but I would recommend baking them for an additional ten minutes.

This recipe did not turn out well for me at all. Follow at your own risk.

I almost think this would work better if you rolled them out and used a cookie cutter. When I baked my "inch ball" ( I used a small cookie scoop), they never really flattened. I did try cooking some of them at a slightly lower temp and 5 min longer. I think it still needs some tweaking on the time.

These are absolutely delicious! Mine didn’t flatten much but are little mounds of buttery goodness!
-
Dough was really dry, right from the get go. First batch didn’t flatten hardly at all, so I tried flattening them a little before baking. They did spread better, and actually tasted good straight from the oven, but after cooling, they were hard as rocks! I melted and drizzled white chocolate on them, to add eye appeal and maybe a smidge of moisture, but even that wasn’t enough to entice my husband. He ate only 2, complained how hard they were, never went back for another. Will probably have to pitch most of them. This recipe is not a keeper, at least not at my house.

The cookies looked really good in the picture. I made these and found the dough to be almost be the consistency of sand. So I actually added some whole milk to make them more of a cookie dough. I rolled into balls and than pressed down with the bottom of a measuring cup to help flatten them. I cooked for 15 minutes. If you like almond flavor you’ll like these.

Followed directions but the cookies just stayed round balls.
