Too dry. Think it should call for less flour and less baking time. IF I make this again, I would do about 1/2 cup less flour and 5 min less baking time.

I thought these would be like chewy almond brownies, but they were more like almond tea cookie bars. They would go great with tea, but they don't work as part of a dessert buffet--other dessert flavors would completely overshadow these.

Really good with homemade almond paste. Don't overbake.

I love anything almond and I love almond paste in pastries but I'd never used it before. I can't say these cookies did anything for me. I found it difficult to blend the almond paste into the butter/sugar mixture. It ended up in small bits throughout, even though I beat it to death! This was to me an almond flavored shortbread cookie, which isn't a bad thing but not what I was expecting. I think I was hoping for more of an almond brownie. And when I tried eating the first one, the top with the almonds peeled completely off.

EASY and a winner! Thanks so much- this is just the recipe I need for my almond loving husband. The result looks like it was way harder to prepare than it is.

These are so good, a little delicate tho, I thought. I used the paste and cut the sugar down to half a cup, still plenty sweet. I also added vanilla with the almond extract.
