Inspired by childhood memories of summers spent along the coast, this buttery almond cookie takes on new depth with nutty and cherry notes. Edged in natural sugar for that sparkly crunch, this cookie is sure to bring back sweet memories.
The sugar edging gives it that perfect crackle when you bite in, and the almond base is rich without being heavy. I ate two straight out of the box and had to stop myself from finishing the whole bag.
The cherry note really comes through without being too sweet, and the nutty almond base keeps it from feeling one-dimensional. The sparkly sugar crunch on the edge is a nice textural contrast, too. Baked up perfectly for an afternoon treat.
The cherry note is subtle but really rounds out the almond flavor, and the sparkly sugar edge makes it feel like a special treat. I’ve already eaten half the bag in two days—it’s that dangerously good.
