PRESENTATION
Drop cookies are a delightful alternative to the typical shortbread cookies made with flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. Unlike classic shortbread cookies, in this case, you won't need cookie cutters or various molds: two spoons will suffice to shape your delicious treats, which will be ready in 30 minutes! Rustic, genuine, and fragrant like the ones baked by grandma, spoon cookies are enriched with almond flour and a pinch of cinnamon. You can make them even more delicious with your preferred ingredients. Dunk them in milk or coffee to start the day on the right foot... they'll be so good they'll even compete with beloved chocolate chip cookies!

How to prepare Almond Drop Cookies
To prepare almond drop cookies, first ensure that the ingredients are at room temperature. In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the salt 1 and brown sugar 2, and work for a couple of minutes with electric beaters, then add the egg 3 and mix for another minute.
Now add the all-purpose flour 4, almond flour 5, and cinnamon 6.
Also add the baking powder 7 and, while mixing everything with the beaters, gradually pour in the milk 8. Continue working 9 until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, take a spoonful of dough 10, and use another spoon to slide it onto the tray, leaving a couple of inches between each cookie 11. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and let your drop cookies cool before enjoying them 12!
