Notes
Baking time: Keep an eye on the oven as the cookies bake, as the baking time depends on your oven's settings and the thickness of the cookies.
Spacing: Place cookies on a lined baking sheet with a little spacing between them. Too much spacing is not necessary, as almond cookies don't spread much during baking.
Oil: Grease your hands with oil before shaping the mixture into balls to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
