I followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed based on the other reviews. I hate the taste of baking soda and that's all I tasted. Possibly more almond extract would improve the taste, but I won't try these again.

I am a lactose intolerant (I used vanilla soy milk in place of milk) slacker (did not refridgerate the dough but followed other recommendations to just flatten the cookies, and I did not put egg white on top because my baby was screaming, and I threw slivered almonds on top in place of mixing in ground almonds due to what I had on hand) who does not have cream of tartar (I left it out). My very-altered cookies turned out okay--My husband says "I think they're great!" But I think they taste like slightly almondy sugar cookies, which is maybe how they're supposed to taste.

Excellent ***** These are the best, I added extra almond extract and ground almonds. I did not chill the dough, I used a cookie scoop slightly flaten with a fork and sprinkled ground almonds on top. I baked them at 350 degrees for 11 min. they were perfect. This is going to be one of our family favorities. Thanks for the recipe.

I did not refridgerate the dough either, and instead rolled it into 1 tsp. balls which I then rolled in a mixture of ground almonds and sugar. I don't know if it's because my oven is new, but the cookies BURNT on the bottom. Maybe 375 is too high? Then again my oven might just be too hot (this was only the 3rd time I've used it since new!) Overall, excellent taste! I would probably bake them at 350 next time though.

Yum! Delicious, rich flavor. I don't think I'll shop around for almond cookie recipes anymore. I didn't refrigerate, either, and rolled them in nuts and sugar, and baked them without flattening. Turned out great! Chewy and crispy - so, so good. Thank you!

Good cookies. I agree that they do remind me of Snickerdoodles too. Crispy edges, softer center. I also didn't take the time to refrigerate the dough. I rolled spoonfulls into a snake shape and then flattened them on the tray. I got a little confused with the recipe directions though about when to mix in the egg yolks then the baking soda and milk. I had a million bowls with ingredients until I realized they were all supposed to go into the egg yolk bowl. The dough was very think and I had to mix in the almonds by hand kneading.

Excellent cookies! Kind of reminded me of snickerdoodles except for the almond flavor instead of the cinnamon. I just made a couple small changes like lowering the oven temperature to 350 and I was too impatient to wait for the 4 hours so I rolled them into tsp size balls and flattened them with a fork.
