I made these gluten free! These are tasty and not too sweet. I used a white rice flour & tapioca starch mix (double white rice flour) plus to the cookies I added 1/2 tsp guar gum. I used blanched slivered almonds which I chopped up more. Mine didn't thin out as much as they should have but I think that was due to not using measuring spoons and I probably didn't add enough butter or maybe gluten-free needs more butter. I'd make these again making sure to add enough butter. Made for ZWT6 Germany/Benelux region, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood!

These "cookies' are so good! I was born in Holland, and when I was six we immigrated to Australia. This was one of the few things my mother could cook really well. She didn't have the recipe anymore and I have been trying to find it now since I came to United States in 1970. I found it today, and fixed it. Thank you - it was wonderful! The only things missing were tea or coffee and some lady friends to share them with. I couldn't wait that long! Thank you.

Perhaps these cookies work for others, but I have had no success. In researching thin (lacy) cookies, florentines, or tuiles, the order of operations is crucial. Just throwing everything into a bowl and baking will result in crumbly, uneven cookies with a terrible consistency (no egg). Instructions on how to handle the butter (softened, melted) would be helpful. Also no bake time makes it a guessing game. Do not rely on this recipe. Go elsewhere.

These were so good. I cheated by using already chopped almonds. I got my youngest to do the smashing of the cookies and as he got to help, he tried them too and declared them the best cookies without chocolate chips in them. I love cookies like this as they aren't too sweet but have a good flavor. Thanks Nan
