Cinnamon almond cookies
Background
These cinnamon almond cookies are similar to Amaretti cookies, so they are gluten-free and dairy-free. They are even more gooey after a day or two, so try to keep some for your morning coffee or afternoon tea . Also, wrapped nicely the cookies make a nice gift for parties and special occasions.
