These were fantastic! Used 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Can't imagine flavor if only 3 drops. These were great, would make an awesome Christmas cookie.

I added more extract than recommended and will add even more (1/2 ts) next time. Had some almond sliver left over from something else and they looked like a cup so I threw them in the food proce...

VERY tasty, I do believe I'll be making these again for Litha this year. I had to add 2 tbsp milk to make the dough come together, and I used coconut oil instead of butter (which left my hands ...
