These were very good cookies. I made them exactly as written. (Not knowing whether to use salted or unsalted butter, I used the "sweet cream salted" butter I had on hand.)
I baked these for the full 11 minutes, but I thought maybe another minute or two might have been better. Also, my yield was only 17 cookies instead of the full "2 dozen" written, because I tend to make cookies too big.
I only have one minor complaint, though. I thought there were way too many almonds to top the cookies. 3/4 cup was far too much to cover the tops of 17 cookies (maybe 1/3 cup would have been enough in my case), so I can imagine that 3/4 cup is still too much for 24 cookies. But all in all these were very tasty cookies - I managed to make them last me for 4 days instead of just 1!
