Almond - Orange Drop Cookie (not GF)
The Almond-Orange Drop Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the nutty richness of almonds with the bright, citrusy flavor of orange. These cookies are soft and slightly chewy, with a tender crumb that melts in your mouth. The addition of finely ground almond oolong and orange tea leaves adds a unique twist, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Excellent with tea.
