For the best texture, ensure your butter is properly softened but not melted. Toasting the almonds lightly before chopping can enhance their flavor. These cookies are quite delicate, so handle them with care, especially when they are warm. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.

Feb 8, 2025The dough was a little crumbly, but the cookies still turned out great. I chilled the dough before shaping, as suggested, and it helped a lot.

Jul 7, 2024I used salted butter as the recipe suggested, and I think it was a bit too salty. Next time I'll use unsalted butter and add a pinch more salt.
