I am going to try making these tonight. I love anything almond flavor and I have been looking to duplicate The Fresh Market's Almond Pillow Cookie recipe for quite some time. While I still have not been able to find out their "secret", I most certainly believe that these will be my new favs! I will let you all know how well they turned out.
Love
