Italian almond cookies are penny size cookies that have a lightly sweet taste, and very easy to love. The orange and almonds are toasty, chewy and addictive: one, two, three--they're gone. Pretty for a party or in your pockets.
This recipe for Italian almond cookies comes from the beautiful website Serious Sweets. Carrie Vasios has done a lovely job with this cookie. I have adapted it slightly, but visit her site to see the original Italian almond cookies recipe.

Baked cookies before I set them under the broiler for just a few minutes
If the cookies are baked, but the almonds aren't brown, It might be necessary to set the tray under the broiler for a few minutes, just to get a nice toasty texture. This last step will transform your cookie from one that is delicious to one that is especially delicious.
