Coffee Almond Cookies 咖啡杏仁饼

I have tried coffee almond cookies a couple of times, they are crunchy, fragrant, and was a hit in my family. Even a non regular coffee drinker like me enjoy these cookies too. 

It is not that cheap from where I bought it from, almost $20 for a medium size container of 'em. The cost of making? Well below $5. What's more, you don't even need a mixer for this. It is fuss free and almost no special technique required.

When the cookies were being baked in the oven, the smell was almost addictive. If you are a coffee lover, you can surely appreciate the coffee aroma that wakes you up in an instant (or sleepy, perhaps?).

Some warm crunchy coffee cookies, paired with a cup of dark black coffee. Aaaaah~~~
