עוגיות סהר שקדים

These almond crescent cookies are incredibly tender, buttery, and aromatic 🤍

Thanks to almond flour, they literally melt in your mouth, and the touch of rum essence gives them a warm, festive bakery-style aroma.

These cookies are one of my personal favorites, so today I made a double batch — I was expecting guests.

If you need a smaller portion, simply divide all ingredients in half.

Perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or just a cozy moment with tea or coffee ☕✨

I truly invite you to bake these cookies with me and enjoy every bite.
