I didn't have any vanilla (I know! Such a crime!) But I added 1 tsp. ginger and 1 tsp. cinnamon instead, and the result was, I suspect, just as good! Also, I used a white chocolate chip instead of blanched almonds, and I didn't press them with the fork, with the result that the outside layer was thicker and so soft....it melts in your mouth, and then in the center, crumbly and crunchy! So good. Why is it almost a general rule that grandmas always used the best recipes? These are sooooooooo good!! I didn’t have any vanilla (I know! Such a crime!)

I ended up using a little more than 2 1/3 cups of flour, and I baked a small batch first to see how they turned out. They were good but maybe a little crumbly -- probably a little too much flour. So for the next batch, I added a little shortening. (I had used the last of the butter -- horrors!) The shortening addition was good; they were more melt-in-your-mouth. For the last batch, I took inspiration from your earl grey cookies and mixed in part of a chai tea bag and a pinch of cinnamon. Those were really good. I also mixed in a pinch of kosher salt, which gave it a neat quality. It was fun experimenting. They were good!
