Notes
➔ Use room temperature butter for a much smoother dough.
➔ Do not overmix the flour to keep cookies soft.
➔ Use fresh almond extract for the very best scent.
➔ Chill the dough for ten minutes if it feels sticky.
➔ Space cookies two inches apart so they do not touch.
➔ Watch the oven closely to avoid burning the edges.
