Would make this again.
Yum! Finally a LC cookie that came out great. I used the 1/4 tsp baking soda and powder and added 1/4 almond extract too. Baked for 7 mins. I like them sweet so it was perfect. five stars

Fantastic! I used vanilla instead of almond, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour because I only had 1 cup of almond flour, 2 T. protein pwd., and on top I used a little splenda brown sugar after smashing them flat. I will make these again and again! five stars

these are sooooo good I did like another person and added 1/4 tsp of baking powder and baking soda. I also refridgerated the cookies for 30 min. before baking. This adds to more crispy cookies. I also cooked them for 11 min. five stars

Great recipe. My husband was very suspicious and even he thought it tasted good! I followed Suzjay's guidance and replace 1/4 cup of almond flour with 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour, added the 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 cup of blanched almonds. Turned out great. A little sweet, so i'd probably use 3/4 cups of sugar next time. five stars

I made a wonderful fruit tart crust with this recipe! Using the suggestions from previous posts, I altered the recipe by adding:
a 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 3/4 cup sliced raw almonds.
To make sure it cooked in the center, bake for 10 minutes until it looks slightly toasty brown. (If it looks brown all over, the result is a very hard cookie.) The trick to making the perfect dough is to have all ingredients at room temperature (including the egg). On my next attempt, I want to experiment with substituting the Splenda with 1/4 cup agave nectar. five stars
