Chinese Almond Cookies are crispy cookies with almonds and a wonderful almond flavor. Do you love shortbread? You might enjoy these cookies.
What is the origin of Chinese Almond cookies?
Some believe that the Chinese almond cookie came from the Chinese walnut cookie, as it is a plain cookie with a walnut in the center, and those cookies are thought to bring good luck. Did you know that the National Chinese Almond Cookie Day is April 9th.
