Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips:
  • t's important to chill the dough before forming the balls and baking them. Do not skip this step.
  • When using eggs in any baking recipe, take the eggs out of the refrigerator at the same time as the butter so they both come to room temperature.
  • Perfect kids' project: Have the kids sort through the almond for the perfect 
  • shapes and sort them into sets of five. The kids can also decorate the cookies with the almonds.
