This great take-a-long snack couldn’t be easier to prepare! It’s a perfect alternative to macaroons and can be made with any ground nuts.

I’m here to tell everyone that using Almond Flour is a no no. The color and the consistency is way off. I will try to grind the almonds with my food processor by pulsing.
So you start with something like the size of a golf ball and roll it out into a rope? I found this under Pesach desserts that freeze well. I hope so because my sisterhood asked me for cookies that freeze well as I won’t be here during Pesach.
Yes use your hands to roll the dough, I would estimate it’s about the size of a golf ball
Thank you.
When you instruct us to “roll” the dough, am I correct that we should use our hands? If so, it might be helpful to indicate the amount of dough (e.g. 1-1/2″ in diameter? or the size of a golf ball?) to gather to make each finger.
Made a double batch of these yesterday for Passover tonight. There are none left!! Great recipe – easy to make. I am going to try and make them with a sugar substitute and see how that goes.
Thanks so much, let me know if sugar sub works.
I can’t seem to find ground almonds without having to order a huge quantity that I don’t need. Can I use almond meal? I may just have to find a bag of almonds and process them myself being careful not to make almond butter.
Almond meal is the same thing as ground almonds, it might be a little finer but it works great in these cookies. I also like to try ground hazelnuts and ground walnuts to make 3 different kinds.
The recipe calls for baking chocolate. Would melted chips work?
yes, no problem
8oz is a cup and 6oz is 3/4 of a cup
Thanks I am actually making them a head of time so I was wondering if I could freeze them.
That is a great question, I make these every year, but no matter how much I make never have any left to freeze. That being said I don’t see why they wouldn’t freeze well.
does anyone know if you can freeze these cookies ?
I believe these would work with almost any nut, but I can’t imagine them without any since they are the main ingredient.
Can I make them with no nuts. I am a peanut and all nut allergy?
I have to say I wouldn’t recommend it, I make these every year, but I think they need that bit of texture that the flour wouldn’t give.
Thanks! That’s what I figured so now I’m back to the store to get ground almonds.
Can I make these with almond flour instead of ground almonds? How will that affect the texture?
Would send a pic, but they were gone before I could get my camera.
Made them, my adult children LOVED them!
does anyone know how many cups is 6ozs of ground almonds? my bag is much bigger
When will the e-zine be available for Android (Kindle) devices?
Made these on pesach, husband and kids loved them!
No, the eggs pull it all together and the nuts have fat in them too so it works, I did use my hands to mix it together, was difficult with a spoon.
No oil or margarine in this recipe??
They are slightly chewy, they remind me of these chocolate horns my dad used to buy, hope that helps, I know you will be happy with these.
im super excited to make these cookies! just wanted to know what the texture of the cookie is…
Looks easy. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.
I love these easy cookies. I made them with ground hazelnuts because that is what I found at the store and they were so good, the hit of the meal. It is a joke how easy they are.
