I make cookies quite often. When we talk about cookies, there are many types to choose from soft cookies, bar cookies, thin, thick, crunchy, etc. Today, the cookie that I chose is a simple and crunchy type. A delicious cookie made with a lot of butter and no egg. This basic and retro cookie is easy to make, you can turn this basic recipe into different flavors by making small adjustments. This time, I made 2 styles of cookie, a butter cookie with granulated sugar, and another with chopped almonds to add a delicious nutty taste. You can add chopped nuts to the dough too if you want. As the cookie dough is soft, refrigerate it before shaping it making rolling the dough easier. After shaping the cookie dough into a log, you can make it in advance freeze it (for 1-2 months), and bake it when you want.
