A good cookie for few ingredients. I did not have the almond extract but will definitely put that in next time as I think it would improve the flavour. On the last batch, I ran out of parchment paper so did the cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet . I would not recommend that as the edges were rather burnt and the centers were not done. Thx Melissa.

    I really liked this recipe & it freezes very well. Goes great with hot chocolate. I especially liked the taste of almond extract.

    What a simple, tasty little treat these are... They took 15 minutes in my oven, turned out perfectly and the kids love them. Definately going to be making these again. Thanks
