Chef tips

If you want to use whole almonds instead of flour, it’s recommended
to chop them very carefully, to avoid the essential oil dispersion.
Once the biscuits are placed on the tray, let it rest in the fridge to avoid flattening during cooking.
Strictly follow the cooking settings because if the biscuits are overcooked can change the taste.
Let the biscuits cool down without touching them.
