Butter Cookies (Almond Flour)

These are soft, buttery cookies which are almost like shortbread.   The Chief Taster is a shortbread fiend and moaned that these were not thick enough.  I had to explain that these are cookies but I guess you could fashion the dough into larger sections and call it a short bread.  However, I think these would be lovely with other flavours, such as lemon. 

The mixture is so easy to make, you could let your young children whip up a batch.  Then eat them all whilst they look on.
