Big, soft cookies with a wonderful almondy aroma and flavor. I can't remember where I got the recipe exactly, but I can remember having and making it for a few years. It has become a classic cookie staple in my home. If you like the flavor of almonds, you'll love these cookies; and if your cookie monsters are anything like mine, they'll be gone really fast. My mother and husband actually got into a fight over the last cookie!! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 cup canned almond filling (i use solo) |
1/4 cup milk |
3 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup sliced blanched almond (i like to toast them) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs; blend well.
4. Add the almond filling and milk; blend well.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; add to the butter mixture and mix to form a dough.

7. of dough and roll them together to form each cookie.
