Personal Notes:
I use a 1 tbsp cookie scope for my dough, it yields about a 2 inch cookie. I also roll the dough balls in sugar , place them on the cookie sheet and press them down with a glass until they are about 1/4 inch thick. I consider the sliced almonds optional.

If you use a 1tsp scoop your cookies will be smaller
