Notes
Add more water: The original recipe only called for 1 tablespoon of water and when making this the dough was not forming without more water, which is reflected in the recipe below.
Type of almonds: Some versions of these biscuits require blanched almonds and some make no mention so these are made with plain almonds.
Creating your small cookie balls: Lace cookies spread so these were no larger than 1 inch when rolled into a ball.
Ice Cream sandwich suggestion: If you're also inclined to make ice cream sandwiches, you could absolutely put a scoop of your favorite flavor between two of these biscuits as that is one alternative way to serve.
