This is the Almond Cookie Bar that I made last weekend. I scribbled down the recipe on a memo pad many years ago, put it in my folder and had completely forgotten from where did I get this recipe. If anyone of you know the link of this recipe please let me know. This Almond Cookie Bar is really worth trying and addictive as it's very crispy and fragrant with every bite that makes me reaching out for more. Definitely a keeper! I should have doubled the recipe so that I can have more to share with my family and friends.
Here, I would like to make an announcement that I'll be away for quite some time due to family commitments. I am not able to update my posts but will try to do so when the opportunity arises and I also may not have the time to drop by your blog. So today's post will be my last post till I return. So goodbye friends and readers, thank you for your support all these years and hopefully Anncoo Journal will not be completely forgotten by you when I return. Take care everyone and I'll miss you all very much!
