Sliced almonds throughout provide buttery crunch, while the warm spices make these perfect for fall and winter holidays.
Pro Tips
- Dissolve baking soda completely in the sour cream before adding to prevent bitter pockets
- Shape dough logs about 2 inches in diameter for cookies that are substantial but not too thick
- Chill dough overnight for easiest slicing with clean edges
- Bake just until golden as overbaking makes these spiced cookies dry and hard
