Peter M: Glad to be back :-) There's a reason this cookie is common to so many countries ... it only takes one bite to see why!

Recipegirl: My goal is to use almond flavoring more often, it just tastes so good.

Erin: Oh dear god, no -- I was not abducted by Ms. Lee ... what a horrid, horrid thought ....

Peter G: I have wickedly bad will power ... as you can see from my recent banana and orange muffins ... at least they contain fruit :-)

Elle: Thank you!

Manggy: Chinese? Hmmm, not all almond cookies are Chinese :-) Glad to know I was missed -- you're all far too kind!

Anonymous (aka Queenie): I'm slowly getting back up to speed.

Sylvie: I agree -- now it's one of my favorites too.

Farida: You are one of my faves, don't be so silly :-)

Paula: Oh, I wish I had grand vacations stories to tell ... but unfortunately, no. Maybe later this year.

Kevin: Thanks!

Ruth: Congratulations on the anniversary!!! Sometimes you just have to give into life and roll with it ... a few take-out dinners are a nice way to make it through the week sometimes.

Patricia: I'm glad that you now also blog in English! Unfortunately, your box shipped yesterday and without any cookies :-(

I made similar cookies once, a long time ago (when I only had the blog in Portuguese) – it was a recipe from one of my Donna Hay’s books, called almond Greek cookies. It was a good thing I made them to give as a gift, otherwise I would have eaten the whole batch in minutes.
These look wonderful, Allen, make a batch for me too, please! :)

We ended up having take out twice last week as well as eating out twice…. but that was all part of celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary as well as a busy work week. Great to see you back blogging and with a great treat too.

Those look good. My mother used to make them for the holidays every year though I have not had them for a while.

Here I thought you’d be coming back with tales of a great vacation full of new adventures and exotic food. Oh well. I too am glad you’re back!

Allen, this looks great! Cute cookies, I am sure they taste great! I’ve tried them in Turkey I think. Oh, do you mean my blog is one of your favs and you are going to read it now?:))) Am I modest or what:)))))))Cheers!

"I found it hard to stop eating them. Within a day, it was time to make a second batch :-)"
Oh, Allen. Hahaha. I'm kidding. This is from the guy who eats a roll of Oreos a day at a time. The cookies remind me strangely enough of Chinese food. I dunno, it's almonds!! They look smooth and deceptively light.

We've missed you round these parts Allen (aww). Excited to see your fruit and veggie cookin' :)
