The directions for these cookies were definately not clear. It would be very helpful to say to add 1 cup of almond flour in ADDITION to the AP flour called for in the recipe. I added the almond flour in place of 1 cup of the ap flour and ended up with a very buttery sugar cookie with almond overtones. Very good but not what I was looking for.
