I made these cookies for the 1st time this year. They are easy to make, and my grandkids loved them. They are not overly sweet, but very tasty. I may add a little more almond when I make another batch tomorrow.Great with my morning coffee. Thanks five stars

Amazingly good!
They taste like a homemade version of keebler's 'pecan sandies'. But like all homemade cookies, they were so much better! five stars
