Spiced Almond Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: Wanda Daily

"These cookies are my all-time favorite! The recipe has won ribbons at fairs and applause from family and guests alike! One of the reasons I like it is that I can make the dough and freeze it. Then, when I need another batch of cookies, I take a 'log' out of the freezer, thaw it and make fresh cookies in minutes!"
