I love almonds. I found a packet of sliced almonds in the back of the pantry and baked some cookies. I pretty much just used this recipe but decreased the amount of sugar by a bit, replaced the vanilla with almond extract, and swapped the chocolate for sultanas and almonds. Also today, I put some new wildflower cushion covers into my etsy shop. I made two of those vintage pink ones, so I can keep one for myself.
