| Perfect Almond Butter Cookies |
Aunt Joan gave me some Rycraft cookie stamps for like my 16th or 17th birthday, and I still have them. With the stamps came a recipe book for all kinds of shortbread. This recipe is my favorite from that book, and when I make them for people, these always get rave reviews. They are so simple, it's hard to believe they're so loved, but they have just the perfect amount of sweetness and their texture is perfectly melt-in-your-mouth crisp. I like mine to be clearly browned on the edges in order to get the full flavor of this buttery cookie.
