For best results, use high-quality almond paste. Look for a natural variety with a high almond content. Toasting the sliced almonds before coating the cookies intensifies their flavor and adds a pleasant aroma. The dough is quite sticky, so don't be afraid to use a little flour on your hands to make it easier to handle. A cookie scoop helps ensure uniform size. These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Jan 22, 2025The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.
