almond cookie

Crunchy nut sweet

A cookie flavored with almonds or almond extract, often with a distinctive crumbly, slightly sandy texture.

Chinese almond cookies are a common variety, round with a whole almond pressed into the center: We picked up almond cookies at the bakery in Chinatown.

Italian amaretti are another well-known type.
