an ok recipe. I followed the instruction exactly. first , it is not sweet enough. secondly when cutting in warm , it break down. I believe if the almon dis roasted , and sugar added, it could pump to 4.5 star. Thank you for sharing though.

Absolutely wonderful! I wanted to make some shortbread and had 1/2 cup of almonds, so happily, my recipe search led me to this recipe! Great texture and flavor! I did increase the almond extract to 1 tsp. as suggested by previous reviewers and loved the results. I also very lightly toasted the almonds and cooled before patting on the top of the unbaked shortbread. Probably not needed, but I really like the toasted almond flavor and wasn't sure if the baking time would be enough. Great recipe!

MY DH loves almond anything and this was great! I used more almond extract for his taste and will definitely make again. Thank you!

these were absolutely delicious! I, too, used 1 tsp. of almond extract which seemed the perfect amount. I also pressed the dough in a pyrex pie dish and cut the shortbread into wedges--- they looked really pretty!
