I bring the dessert to my family's Christmas dinner so I'll include these with other cookies I'll be baking. As for the NFT's, some people on Twitter have suggested it's a money laundering scheme which seems plausible. On Twitter, @kurteichenwald researched the company selling these. DJT only licensed them, the company mentioned sells them and it's an operation run out a post office box in a strip mall that is owned by someone in another state who's business is run out his house, He's had other shady deals in the past. Supposedly, if you own one of these and sell it, DJT gets 10% of the selling price. The really good news is that you can eat cookies all day long.

He's a ridiculous clown who fools no one but himself. Sadly there are too many people who continue to support him regardless. I'll stick with cookies, thank you very much.

Your cookie is a variation of a cookie that four generations of my family has made and loved. I can’t wait to give this one a try!

I think the whole ‘NFT’ thing is dumb regardless of what it is. I mean it’s just a digital photograph of whatever, that can be found wherever for free.

And then there’s his delusional idea of each NFT. Like a “Superman” one, or an Astronaut. Just... no. And I had to laugh because it was damn clear he didn’t read the script before posting the video. Because he was talking about every purchase has a chance to “win dinner with him” and he said something about “he didn’t think that was a fabulous prize but it’s what they had”.

Honestly it sounds like he’s trying to get money to pay for the legal bills because he can’t access the funds from his superPACs. Also a grift, just like junior posting something about a 10-minute conversation with him for $1,500 or something awhile back. And I highly doubt all his “NFTs” sold out. It’s just like his “thousands of supporters at his rallies”.

As for cookies... you can never go wrong with cookies. Except for my younger brother when he made some peanut butter cookies hard enough you could knock with them and not break. It reminded me of the scene from “Charlie’ Angels” and the “Ninja Fighting Muffins”. Lol

These look delicious and I may bake them tomorrow if I can find lemon oil. Penzey’s rocks, my fav place for herbs, spices and extracts!!

Do I have to use almond flour, or can I use only all purpose flour?

You can use all all-purpose, but it won't have quite the delicacy. But you will still like them.

The cookies sound amazing—If I have time, I will bake them to bring to a read through of a project I'm working on (one of the hardest parts of the pandemic for me has been a dearth of in-person events to bake for). As for TFG's NFTs—what a joke. I'd have to have been paid to buy them, and then paid again for the trauma of having had to look at them.

Looks amazing! Would totally date that cookie if I could! 😉

Sounds delicious. One question, what size is a cup? I have no idea if a cup in America is the same size as a cup in Scotland. Not that there in only one size of Scottish cup anyway. Any chance you can give amounts in grams? No, prob not, but I can recall ounces so ounces would be OK.
