Oh Tara, this comment makes me so happy! These cookies hold a special place in my heart, I’m so glad that they came out great for you. I’ll have to check out the “Solo” almond paste as I’ve never heard of it before – great tip!

Made these cookies for Christmas and they came out great! Family and friends loved them and couldn’t tell they were vegan.

Instead of making my own almond paste, I just used the one from “Solo” since it’s vegan.

I didn’t have Earth Balance’s soy-free butter sticks, so I just used their soy-free tub and the cookies still came out great.

Hi Jessica,
Oh no, we never want that to happen! There’s many reasons that could happen with the dough, but we would try refrigerating the dough before hand like you suggested. Sometimes warm dough can cause the butter to melt and that can lead to flat cookies.

Let us know if you try again and are successful! Thanks for trying and commenting 🙂
