Making these cookies is rather like going back in time for me! This is one of my mother’s recipes that my family have enjoyed for as long as I can remember. (Even now, if you were to have a peek in her biscuit tin there is a good chance you would find some of these inside.) There was often a block of almond tart tucked in my lunchbox or gobbled up as an afternoon treat after school.
An oldie but a goodie, this almond tart is dense, soft and perfect with a cup of tea. Although right now I am feeling like there is simply no time for tea breaks – it’s December tomorrow (when did that happen?) and it feels as though there is still so much to do before the end of the year! The good news is that I have lots of delicious Christmas recipes and foodie gifting ideas to inspire you these holidays, so be sure to keep checking in for those. In the meantime, happy baking!
