Scandi-Almond-Cookies-7Sometimes in the weekend my family asks if I want to make some cookies, I have to say they are not really my speciality, some how they don’t turn so well as they are to be expected. These almond cookies from the GBBO are simple and everybody, even me, can make them. Although mine didn’t look very pretty, the taste was absolutely fantastic. 

The ingredients you need are simple and you might have standard at home, at least I do, almonds, butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and plain flour, simple eh?

Once they are baked and they are completely cold down you can roll them in icing sugar to get the idea of snow balls. Well mine were more like a cookie and still the taste was fantastic.
