Browned Butter Drizzle (see recipe below)
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, baking soda, cream of tarter, and cinnamon. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in ground almonds. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, or scoop dough with a 1-inch cookie scoop. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 13 minutes or until cookies are light brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.

Delicious. I made a few modifications to make it a little lighter and I thought there was too much glaze. I got 43 cookies.
12/24/2011 04:18:46 PM Report AbuseRecipe turned out really well. One of my coworkers said it was the best cookie he'd ever had. Instead of grinding the almonds myself I substituted 1/2 c. ground almond meal from the grcoery store. The cookies were crispy and delicious. If you prefer a softer cookie I would substitute less of the ground almond meal or use a little less flour. The tempature and time worked fine for my oven.

The only problem that I had with the recipe was what kerryjtan said as well. 375 degrees is way to hot...I tried 350 for ten minutes and it worked out very well =]
