Almond Crush Cookies

Generous amounts of butter create rich, tender cookies while cream of tartar adds subtle tang that balances the sweetness.

Brown and white sugars combine for complex caramel notes, and chopped almonds scattered throughout provide crunch in every bite.

Chilling the dough for several hours makes it easier to shape and prevents excessive spreading during baking.

Kitchen Tips

• The large amount of butter listed (over 3 cups) seems unusual and may be a recipe error, consider using 1 cup instead
• Chill dough thoroughly so it’s firm enough to roll into neat balls without sticking
• Space balls well on the cookie sheet as these spread moderately during baking
• Don’t overbake or cookies will be hard rather than tender with crisp edges
