I am in a very almondly phase. You know, when you put almonds in everything, whether sweet or savory – grinded, chopped, toasted, blanched…Therefore, I had to make cookies with them as well. In these cookies, almonds come in two shapes: as almond butter, and chopped. So, if you like almonds, you will love these cookies.
