Almond Cookies

"Dorie Greenspan graced us with these simple cookies from Pâtisserie Arnaud Larher in her book Paris Sweets. These salty, sweet, and buttery cookies are so delicious they’re hard to stop popping into your mouth. Perhaps that’s why they are called “TV crunchies”; they are France’s version of America’s peanuts and popcorn. The best part: These cookies take no time to make and are the opposite of fussy. Very young kids can help shape these imperfect beauties. This pastry was featured as part of our Parisian Sweets photo gallery...."
