They may start to develop a plastic flavor from the container they are stored in after more than 4 days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almond Flour vs Ground Almonds:<\/strong> This recipe can be made with either Almond flour or finely ground almonds. Almond flour produces smoother cookies with a softer inside texture, but with ground almonds, the almond flavor is stronger. The ground almonds will also have a thicker texture and small brown spots from the skins of the almonds.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Type of almonds:\u00a0<\/strong>Raw almonds, roasted unsalted or lightly salted. When I tested with lightly salted, I did not reduce the salt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cookie size: <\/strong>Using a cookie scoop of a different size may yield a different number of cookies. I do not recommend larger than a medium-sized scoop. Adjust the baking time by 2-3 minutes as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Pinch any cracks in the cookie dough together so they are smooth when they go into the oven.<\/li>\n<li>If the dough seems too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time (up to 1 tablespoon) to give it a little more moisture.<\/li>\n<li>If the powdered sugar seems to be melting on the cookie, then they need more time to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-nutrition\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Nutrition<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Serving Size:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-serving-size\">1<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Calories:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-calories\">175<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Sugar:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-sugar\">8.3 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Sodium:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-sodium\">28 mg<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Fat:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-fat\">8.9 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Carbohydrates:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-carbohydrates\">20.2 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Fiber:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-fiber\">0.5 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Protein:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-protein\">2 g<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Cholesterol:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cholesterol\">22.2 mg<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These buttery almond crescent cookies have a soft, crumbly shortbread texture and sweet almond flavor.
