The last sheet of these cookies are baking as I write this! I made 2 changes to the recipe as it is published. First off, I doubled the recipe and substituted 1tsp of Lemon Extract for one of the teaspoons of Vanilla. I also added a bit of nutmeg to the recipe. I was trying to find a recipe that was like my granny's and this is as close as I could find and with those 2 changes, the cookies are JUST LIKE HERS! I baked them for 8 minutes, used Halloween cutters and they are soft and delicious! I am saving this recipe for future use! HIGHLY recommend!

I made this recipe AS IS except for using an entire egg instead of 2 yolks. The cookies taste fine but I'm not impressed with the results of the press. I doubt I'll make these again, unless it is as ball cookies with a thumb=print pressing them. I was impressed at how closely they taste like my husband's favorite store-bought butter cookies. I wouldn't suggest emitting or decreasing the almond as others have done. It's a perfect amount!

My first try at working with Quinoa was this recipe and it was awesome! Everyone loved it!
