Today I made some soft almond cookies, they are delicious, somewhat like Sardinian Amaretti but different in some ways. They’re really good, and very easy to make. I used the stand mixer but it’s a dough that can easily be made by hand. Super easy with just a few ingredients. If you like almonds, I’ll leave you with other ideas.
