These cookies were amazing! I took the advice of others and use 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. I also used all vanilla extract because i didnt have almond. Probably the best cookies i've ever made from scratch. I wish they were more cookie like. They weren't flat cookies, more cake-like. But that was perfectly fine with me. Delicious either way. I will definitely keep this recipe for future use.
