Notes

  • Margarine can be substituted for butter, if desired. Be sure to let the butter or margarine soften at room temperature before creaming.
  • Almond extract can be substituted for vanilla or Amaretto.
  • These almond brittle cookies are crisp and buttery.
  • Mini chocolate chips would be a perfect substitute for the regular ones. 
  • Jelly roll pans are great for cookies; most versions have a lid that you can use to cover the pan after cooling for easy storage and transport. 
  • Chop up whatever type almonds you have on hand--slivered, sliced, whole, etc.
  • Try our Cherry Almond Dump Cake if you are a big almond fan.
