Tips
  • When mixing vegetable oil with the dry mixture, mixing by hand might be easier.
  • Place the cookies slightly apart on the baking tray, but they do not have to be as far apart compared to baking other types of cookies such as chocolate chip cookies, given that almond cookies do not spread much when baking.
