These turned out super yummy. Very buttery and almond flavored. I did the same as some of the reviewers and only used 1 3/4 cup of flour, added 1 tsb of water, and put the almonds in a food processor until they were finely chopped. I also added 8 tbs of sugar instead of 7. - Read more ...

I used 1 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of almond extract. Also pressed a fleur de lis design into each cookie. They came out great. These cookies are light don't expect a rich overpowering flavor. It's not like shortbread. They did spread a little bit when baking but the design did - Read more ...

I like this recipe and, as the title suggests, they really are easy. My cookies came out well because I paid attention to the comments of the other reviewers.

I followed the recipe tast was good crunchy but they were so horribly dry.I think there should be less flour. Might try again with 1 cup flour.

These were a huge hit at the office. A nice light cookie that puts a smile on your face.

I thought these were pretty good. I would rate them between a 4 and 5. They reminded me of an almond version of a pecan sandy cookie. Getting the dough to come together was a bit tricky. I added 2 teaspoons of water and it worked perfect. I made a half a recipe and got - Read more ...
