CHINESE ALMOND COOKIES
This recipe is from a long time friend.She would make them for us at Christmas. Crispy cookies are among my favorites and these are just that! They are easy to make and best when completely cooled. These cookies will keep for several days in a cookie jar, if you can keep them around that long..
