* I thought that these were really good. I only made a half recipe and it made 4 dozen cookies. I also added about 1/4 tsp almond extract just to give it a little more almond extract. These were really good on day one. Day two they were still soft and by day three they were not as good. So make sure that you eat them all fresh :)
