I thought you meant fortune cookies which are almond flavored also but a different dough that should bake to soft when done and cool hard. I forget what you call it. You can make ice cream cones or ice cream drumsticks with it.

 

Fortune cookies have a lemon flavor...and as my grandson says, “ they never say anything bad.” Do you mean pizzele? I have to get my pizzele maker out.

 

Ok, looked it up. Interweb has no clear answer as to flavor. You can get anything you want. The closest thing to traditional is vanilla and sesame oil flavoring. I searched on "traditional fortune cookie flavor".

Fortune cookie - Wikipedia

Had to look up pizzelle. Italian waffles.

 

Ya know, I should have said shortening instead of lard...I used shortening ( Crisco) in the chinese almond cookies.

 

Fat is fat no matter.

 

Well, if anyone is still interested in these cookies...
I have an update... first I used 2 teaspoons of almond extract...
the original recipe was too dry - so I made them again and
added 3 tab milk...Also, smashed them down flatter and brushed the cookies with milk
and then pressed down the almonds. The almonds stayed on nicely.

 

You're just trying to get me to make those aren't you.

 

Yes, you will like them.
