How to make Almond Cookies?

We all love cookies be it choco chip cookies, oats cookies or just simple butter cookies. My personal choice is Almond Cookies and these are the first cookies I ever baked.

I made a small batch initially and they turned out to be so yumm and melt in the mouth and it all got over in a giffy that I instantly decided to bake another batch to stock a few. My joy and excitement just wouldn’t let me take my eyes off these beauties as they baked and the aroma of these cookies was just irresistible.

With a very few basic ingredients, you too can bake and enjoy these Almond Cookies over a cup of tea or coffee.
