Almond Brown Sugar Cookies | Glam Radar

by Maria · October 15, 2014

These cookies are perfect for accompanying your afternoon cup of tea. While simple to make, they require a few hours in the fridge/freezer to harden slightly before you bake, so you’ll have to plan them a little bit in advance. 

A few British readers commented that they didn’t know how to use cup measurements. I think cups are much easier to use than grams/ounces – all you have to do is buy the set of cups and follow the instructions in the recipe! However, if you’re really having a hard time, this cup to gram conversion may help.

Also, today is Friend Friday, but everything I wanted to say has been said by Vahni but in much more eloquent terms. Check out her post here. The following really resonated with me (quoted from her post):  ” Do you think there is a wrong way to promote yourself and your blog?

  • Disingenuous commenting. I cannot stand bloggers who come by and leave a generic comment and ask me to follow them or check out their blogs. […]
  • Promote a product or campaign you don’t believe in. […] Jumping on every bandwagon coming your way diminishes credibility and is a waste of time. […]
  • Offer giveaways too frequently. I’m getting extraordinarily tired of seeing giveaways every week on some blogs. […] Plus, most giveaways are crap because that’s all companies are willing to part with for free. I almost never participate because I almost never click out of my reader to the post. “
