Chinese New Year Almond Rosettes

This is another cookies that got good reviews two years ago. It has a very nice buttery taste and is not very sweet.





The original recipe (from Connie at Kitchen Capers) called for ground hazelnut, but it is not easily available here in the UK.....hence I substituted it with ground almond.
