"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

These are lovely. Mom also pressed them into an 8" x 8" pan and cut into squares. These cookies are tied into so many of my fond memories as a child. I can't see a cookie covered in almonds without thinking of these. They were a special treat. ---Jennifer

I will always remember these as mom's favorite cookie from making them together when kids. ~jess
