I think this recipe is terrible..way to dry you cannot roll this dough out..there has to be something to do to salvage it...I even added 2 extra eggs to make it wetter, still terrible. And I make cookies all the time, just wanted to try some good almond cookies, they are terrible, never again!

Used this recipe to make valentine apple and custard cookies - had to adapt it slightly as i have celiac so used rice flour instead - added some maple syrup - used light brown sugar and added a few spices - came out really well - nice & light very moist - only my second attempt at cookies - really easy to roll out and cut - will be using this recipe from now on - make about 30 cookies

Did not turn out well, first day they were good, but zero staying power after that. They were hard and I'm crying because I sent a box to family, the shame!
