Chinese Restaurant Almond Cookies is still tasted fantastic, as my colleagues attested! When I made my first batch, some of my cookies had slightly burnt bottoms. I had to keep a careful eye out when I made the rest of my batches. All in all, though, I will definitely make these again in the future.

Preparation of Chinese Restaurant Almond Cookies
