The prepared baking sheet should be covered with parchment paper. I only use parchment paper to make cookies because they come out the best when you use it. It's the only way in my opinion. Next you have your ingredients. You need the following ingredients to make this recipe. But swaps are also encouraged if someone has a nut allergy.

What's next?
Once all of your ingredients are mixed together it's not time to bake these almond croissant cookies! I use my two-tablespoon cookie scoop to pick up cookie dough balls. Or you can use one tablespoon of dough. You can pick whatever cookie size you want. After I scoop the cookie on the top of each dough ball all sliced almonds and then roll the dough around in a bowl of sliced almonds to add extra. I like to pick up some extra almonds and pop them all over the dough.
The cookie should be covered with sliced almonds but it's okay if isn't. Some almond slices naturally fall off. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 13 minutes (15 if you want them a little crispy). Once they're cooked, place them on a wire rack to cool and garnish the cookies with powdered sugar. Enjoy with some milk or coffee in the morning. The whole family will love this easy to make dessert. OR if you bring it to work for your friends, it doesn't matter the setting or who it is. These Almond croissant cookies recipe are the best!

The recipe appears twice and is inconsistent. The second version has almost 2C less flour, and does not include any almond flour at all
