My family is a big believer in having dessert after dinner. I was making a Chinese dish one evening and decided to make traditional Almond Cookies. Unfortunately I was out of almond halves but I did have silvered almonds; so I chopped them up and added them to the cookie batter. They were a hit! I've made them several times and each time folks have commented that they like them better than the traditional way!
