The cookies are flaky-crunchy. The bites texture similiar to Famous Amos cookies.. to me is hard. (Flaky must be due to the power of shortening... i recon) Wondering if I have made them wrongly? Eventhough is too crispy for me... But everyone else seem to love it! I imagined that yours are Flaky-melts in the mouth! Pure Vanilla Exract is certainly difficult to find in Kuala Lumpur but I managed to find a small bottle (71ml) in Cold Storage(Mc-Cormick) for RM22.90. <br /><br />I will try without the ground almond... Thanks for sharing the recipe. Next up will be trying The Italian Almond Macaroons ^ ^petsforlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642764702324493985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-59436474016576301842010-02-11T22:10:50.624+08:002010-02-11T22:10:50.624+08:00hi Annie.

I am so upset :(<br /><br />Does the Almond Essence (small bottle just like the colouring type) works for your recipe?

I don't know but maybe palm oil might work too...but then there are concerns with that as well. I think coconut oil is too strongly flavored to work. Oh...lard is probably a good substitute if you don't mind the saturated fat!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588143476054401706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-20656939353664533842009-12-22T00:18:45.844+08:002009-12-22T00:18:45.844+08:00They look awesome, but I am kind of concerned abou...They look awesome, but I am kind of concerned about the Crisco, as it is partially hydrogenated.
