i did that, stitch and they came out great.. a bit 'oily' but i think i didn't use the right kind of almonds..but should be okay!!

There used to be a delicious almond biscuit inthe Be Ro cookery book. This was the (eek!) 20 years ago version mind you. Almond rounds I think they were called... must get the recipe from my mum if she's not thrown the book away.
