 G. Busler (Ohio) says:
I originally made this with the 1 tablespoon of almond extract. In my opinion it was way too much. In my subsequent batches, I used only 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of almond and the cookies were delicious. Perhaps Vanilla extract needs to be the 1Tbs, definitely not the almond. This definitely is the best recipe, either way.
