My cookbook is here! 
If you’re looking for a fast and easy dessert, this is the yummiest cookie recipe you will ever try. You only need 6 ingredients to make these chewy Italian almond cookies!
Disclaimer: These will be your new obsession. They are beyond simple to throw together and the outcome is like none other. So chewy on the inside with lots of almond flavor. If you like this recipe then you love my Chocolate Dipped Almond Horn Cookies.
If you don’t have caster sugar, simply use any granulated sugar and run it through the mini food processor. Caster Sugar is a cross between regular granulated sugar and powdered sugar in consistency and texture. You can also just use regular granulated sugar – the recipe will still work just great!
The only issue you will have with these cookies is that you will not be able to just have one. They are tiny little cookies, so I just went for the second and third. They are perfect to impress for a party – I really hope you try them! Another popular cookie recipe on our site are the 5 Ingredient Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies!
