Hi Jackie! I am so glad you enjoyed these! Thank you for trying my recipe. You can substitute finely ground almonds for the almond flour. 🙂

Hi Mickey! I’m so sorry to hear this happened! I wonder if the dough potentially needed be better mixed, especially if you were getting different results all over the pan. 🙁

I made them today. I think they taste great, but a bit different than normal and they are definitely more delicate. I also made them in small round balls (like Russian Tea Cakes) and the weird thing is some held their shape and others flattened right out while still others were somewhere in between. Each cookie sheet had a mix of shapes. Maybe next time I’ll try chilling them. I’m sure my daughter-in-law will love them. My daughter on the other hand wants me to go back to the “normal” recipe. 🙂

Hi Jeannie! While I haven’t personally tried this, I do think it would work with vegan butter. If the dough is seeming too soft/difficult to work with, I would add an extra Tablespoon of flour at a time as needed until you have the proper consistency. I will say honestly sometimes you lose a bit of the flavor from the butter, but if it’s a nicely flavored vegan butter that shouldn’t be a problem.

Hi, can the butter be substituted for vegan butter? My son is vegan and this cookie will remind him of the same crescent shaped cookies his grandma, my mom, made during Christmas. She is no longer with us and we could not find her recipe but yours is similar in so many ways. Thank you for submitting it ❤️

Hi Soleena! If you are looking for something a little different you can use my snowball cookie recipe, which is similar without the almond flour. 🙂

Hi Mickey! I haven’t personally tried it, but many others have reported using a 1:1 gluten free flour substitute with many different cookies with great success. I hope you love it! Let me know how it goes if you do try it. 🙂

Hi Karen! I would wait to dust them in powdered sugar until after thawing. 🙂

Hi Rudolph! I haven’t personally tried it. I think it could work, just note that nuts make for a little drier dough and it may be a little tougher to work with. 🙂

Hi Shirley! They are the same thing. Enjoy! 🙂

Hi Wendy! I’m not sure how they would turn out with almond flour. 🙁
