The sweetest thing

The passing of Criollo, so sad for so many reasons, was made all the more tragic by my last minute discovery of a new fave cookie, the Lemon Almond Suvaroff. Imagine two almond cookies (not like a Chinese restaurant cookie, but light and flaky) with a lemony filling. I was going to say "lemon creme" but that sounds like an Oreo filling, and this was far better, lighter with an intense lemon flavor. And now it is gone, but maybe not lost. I found this recipe for the the mirror twin of the cookie. That recipe has lemon cookies with an almond filling. I can probably reverse engineer it. Or try at least.

The site on which I found the recipe, Cookie Club, features photos of people making and then eating cookies. It can be quite fun.
