Almond cookie

An almond cookie is a cookie made with almonds. Many cultures have a distinctive almond cookie in their cuisine, including macaroons, Spanish almendrados, German Mandelsichel, Arab qurabiya, Turkish Acıbadem kurabiyesi, Chinese almond biscuit, Norwegian sandkaker, and Italian ricciarelli.

Larousse attests to a French term, pains Anglais, for a rolled almond cookie flavored with rum.
