So delicious! I used two tsp of almond extract, brown sugar, a tiny bit of baking powder, and spiced it with a little cinnamon. Very yummy.

Good flavor. Could be a little sweeter, but great if you toast the almonds prior to adding. Also, I dipped them in melted semi-sweet to add a little flair. Thanks!

Ground the almonds in a food processor, used Kahlua instead of Amaretto (which does affect the taste, I imagine, but it was good), and used only 1 cup of flour. My cookies spread...

These were bland and virtually flavorless. My family's are so much better. It is really sad that some people just don't know that there are wonderful traditional cookies unlike the ones that everyone eats now. People just don't know that there is better stuff out there. My almond cookie recipe has been in my family for 210 years this year, and it is very traditional and flavorful. Next time you are looking for a good cookie recipe, look it up under a specified search and bring up 'traditional'. Cookie recipes that have been around for a very long time are so much better and lots more flavorful. Old recipes are the best kind! Don't recommend this recipe, sorry!

YUM! These are delish! I did not have Amaretto, so I used almond extract (in equal measurements to the amaretto). I've made these twice, the first time I accidentally doubled the amount of amaretto (plus I added a tsp of vanilla cause I thought I did not have enough almond extract for the recipe!! (bad math)), so they came out VERY almond-y, I LOVED THEM. I just made them tonight using the proper measurements, and I think I prefer a little more almond. It was a happy mistake for an almond lover.

Don't over-think it - these are easy to make, tasty cookies. If you want them to come out looking like they're ready for a magazine shoot, sure, go ahead and roll out the dough. Mine spread a little bit anyhow...

WOW! These cookies lasted 30 minutes in my house. They are delicious! I had to use hazelnut liquer (didn't have amaretto) and I also put a couple sliced almonds on top of the cookies before they baked. Great, EASY recipe! Thank you!!

These cookies were excellent! I took the advice of another reviewer who said they don't spread and rolled them into little balls and then pressed them flat. I also pressed a couple of sliced almonds into the top of each before baking and then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar when they came out of the oven. My hubby called them "almond snickerdoodles" and we devoured the whole batch before the evening was over. Definately will be making these again and again!

I just pulled these out of the oven. This was such a simple recipe. Once everything was mixed together, I kept thinking I was forgetting something, but I wasn't. Simple, simple, simple. I, too, did not have amaretto, so I substituted almond extract. Considering that my spatial ability sucks (not thinking one tiny little teaspoon was enough dough), the cookies turned out very well. I also doubled the recipe - allowing me to make a bit bigger cookies. All in all, an excellent and yummy recipe.

These are fantastic. Used almond or amaretto extract instead of liquor. Toasted the almonds as everyone said. I've made these about 4 times now and everytime they go quickly. Place the three almonds on top for deco and presentation is complete.

I just made these cookies and they are pretty good. As I am only 18, I could not purchase the liquor to put in them so I used almond extract instead(about 2 tsp). I took advice from other reviews and lowered the heat to 350 and baked for about 9 minutes. I also reduced the flour to a bit more 1 cup and added cinnamon for some extra flavoring. My whole house smells like almonds now and I love it! These cookies look plain but taste delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I loved this recipe. I added a little extra amaretto, some flax seed, toasted the almonds and sprinkled them in confectioner's sugar. They disappeared! I had to make a second batch right away.

I followed the recipe exactly since it was the first time I made these cookies and they weren't bad. They had a nice mild flavor. I think next time I will follow the advice of others and add a bit more amaretto and toast my almonds to bring out the flavor a bit more since that is what I am after. They also weren't exactly a pretty cookie, perhaps they could be rolled into balls and pressed down with a fork to give them a nicer shape? They are definitely worth trying again.
