Expert Tips
Look for almond filling, which may be labeled almond cake and pastry filling, with the canned fruit fillings at the grocery store.
To give the cookies a smoother look, roll dough with your hands into balls rather than dropping from a spoon.
For cookies that brown perfectly on the bottom, start with a cool cookie sheet. If you have to reuse the cookie sheet, run it under cold water and towel-dry between batches.
