For a richer flavor, toast the almonds lightly before chopping. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Use parchment paper for easy removal. The batter spreads quite a bit, so be sure to leave enough space between cookies on the baking sheet. Don't skip the cooling on the custard cups – this is what creates the signature bowl shape!
