Step By Step Photo Instructions:

1) Take dry ingredients (All purpose flour, almond powder, baking powder and salt) in a bowl. You can use almond meal or almond flour in place of ground almonds. I have just ground whole almonds into a powder.

2) Whisk it well till it gets incorporated.

7) Meanwhile pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for at least 10 minutes.

8) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternately you can spray with nonstick oil spray or grease it well with butter.

9) Make tablespoon size round balls, arrange them on the prepared sheet. Make sure to keep them few inches apart. They will spread as they bake.

10) Arrange the slivered or halved almonds on top of each cookie and slightly press so it will stick.

12) Remove it from the oven and let it cool into the sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to cooling rack and let it cool completely.
