NOTES
1. Variation: Swap the almonds for chopped pistachios or hazelnuts for a different taste.
2. Can I use fresh puff pastry instead of frozen? Yes, you can. Just make sure it is cold before you use it. That way, the pastry will bake up nice and crispy.
3. Storage
Let the cookies cool completely. Then keep them in a tin or airtight box. They stay crispy for up to three days—but they’re usually gone before that!
