I made a mistake and didn't separate the dough into 2 batches, but the result was still extremely tasty! An unusual cookie but a great one. I will definitely make this again.

These are really good. Decided since easy to make to try peppermint. I substituted peppermint extract for almond and used chopped starlight mints instead of coffee beans. Also put some red food coloring in the half with the flavoring. They are excellent also.
