Almond nutritional facts
Almonds have been a part of the human diet for thousands of years and are considered one of the most nutritious nuts. Almonds are rich in fibre, protein, vitamin E, and magnesium. They also contain healthy fats that help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce your risk for heart disease. Almonds are a source of protein. One ounce of almonds contains 6 grams of protein, which is 14 per cent of the daily value (DV).

How can we tell that the cookies are thoroughly cooked? Thanks
The centre will be soft if not completely dried up.
Does this recipe has a strong almond taste?
Not very strong.
May I know what brand of oven u are using?
It is Panasonic 2 in 1 Microwave + Convection oven, very old model, not available now I think.
It is not sweet enough nor is it buttery. We couldn’t take this for Christmas treat as the kids didn’t like it.
