Pro Tips By Neha
Measure your flour correctly! If you add in more flour, your cookies might not turn out great, as they will be dry and crumbly. Butter should be at room temperature. Keep it out of the refrigerator 20 minutes prior to using it. If you press your finger in the butter, it should make an indentation. The finger should not go through it. If your butter is not softened, just cut it into thin slices and place them in the microwave, and heat for about 5 seconds on high. Keep scraping the sides of the bowl while mixing the ingredients. For an added Almond flavor, do not forget to top the cookies with more almonds. You might also like
