Introduction
This is a fun recipe built around Marcona almonds. Marcona almonds are especially savory, but can be hard to find depending on where you shop. If you ever have some, then this is a fun cookie to make. While you can substitute something other than a Marcona almond, it isn’t ideal unless the replacement is an equally savory & impressive centerpiece.
