- 5 3/4 cups cake flour see recipe
- 1 1/2 cup whole roasted almonds, salted (optional)

- Then, add flour and mix until combined.
- Next, roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls and flatten. Place on the parchment lined cookie sheets and repeat until all cookie dough batter is on cookie sheets. Cookies can be placed 1 inch apart as they don't spread much. You'll need about 4-5 cookies sheets.
- Then, bake cookies at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of cookie. If it comes out clean, they're done. Another indication is the bottom of the cookies are browning.
