Sprinkle almonds and press gently into dough. 6 Bake each sheet about 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. 7 Remove from oven. 8 Cut hot cookies into neat 2-inch squares. Return to oven and bake until lightly golden... about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent overbaking. 9 Remove from oven to a wire rack. Slide spatula under cookies to loosen. 10 Cool completely on cookie sheets.
