In reply to Judi. What a lovely thing for you to do! This is one of my older recipes, and I can see that the conversions were not multiplying correctly, I can only do it for grams or American customary (cups etc) and not imperial pounds, so I've up dated it, and if you weigh stuff in pounds, it's going to have to be old fashioned mental maths!

I have made this recipe many times in past few years. It’s a fave. Today I am baking a large amount for recovery homes (10 dozen but some different) so I was doing multiples if this and either my computer does not communicate or there is an error on this page. The multiplier doubles and triples for the gram weights but not for American pounds or cups. Fortunately I can turn my almost disaster around. Ugh! However, these are great for Passover, gluten free friends, and any time you want something different.

In reply to Judi S. Thanks for your comment Judi - it was an emotional rollercoaster for a while as I wasn't sure if you enjoyed them or not! Yes, more is always wanted with these cookies!! As for larger quantities, I've always just doubled it and had no problem! Have just posted a coconut macaroons recipe for Pesach which I hope you'll enjoy just as much.

This is a very basic recipe for my favorite Passover treat, and now that almond flour is so popular, they are easy cookies to make all year long. However basic, Michelle’s recipe does not disappoint (except in the quantity it yields … I want more!). The added bonus here is her link to the cinnamon balls. It’s just as easy and again you will wish for a larger quantity. These cookies with berries will provide a delightful dessert for any Passover meal. If anyone doubles the recipe with good results leave a note. As written, for 20 cookies it is a quick and easy effort. Thanks Michelle!!

Thank you Debby for your very kind words, and I’m happy to know that you’ve discovered my little piece of the web. It’s always nice to know when others have tried out my recipes – they are all tested on us as a family, so I know that for us they work! Hope that they work out for others as well :)

Thanks for your vote, I do appreciate it and I’ll be letting my readers know if I made it through to the next round.

Just to let you know that although I rarely bother voting for various things online, I was so impressed with your blog and the recipes that are good for me and others with food allergies, that I voted for The Purple Pumpkin Blog in the 2014 UK Blog Awards and would be happy to recommend that others do the same – it would be good to see you recognised in some way for your efforts and thoughtfulness. I also like and appreciate the personal responses to reader’s comments (unlike the automated responses so common these days), and with everybody so pushed for time the personal touch is often overlooked, so extra brownie points there too – I shall certainly make a point of checking the blog regularly and maybe letting you know as and when I try out a recipe or idea. Good luck for future blogging and life in general – and for the awards, I hope you win.

They are really delicious. I love the flavour of almonds, so these are just perfect.

I’m glad that you’ve sourced a couple of different sweet treats from me that you’ll be able to make and enjoy because of your intolerance.

Definitely try out the cinnamon calls, it’s another favourite spice of mine too and my dad requests that I make them often for him!

I am going to have to have a bash at making these as they look and sound delicious. Being lactose-intolerant can be a bit of a pain when it comes to desserts and snack-treats, so it is nice to see you cover recipes that are great for me and others with various allergies too. I love nuts and like to keep my baking as healthy as possible too so these will probably end up being made regularly. Think I might just go and have a peek at the Cinnamon Balls you mention when I’ve finished here as cinnamon is one of my favourite spices to use, especially in sweets, cakes and biscuits (I also use cinnamon essential oil too as the smell is so comforting and warming, but that doesn’t have much to do with wanting to go and find something nice to eat now! lol!) Good blog by the way – glad I fond it and reckon I’ll be back. Our fridge-freezer has been on the blink a few times, so, along with everybody else, I shall certainly be keeping my fingers crossed hoping for a little bit of luck to come my way – this item is top of my ‘needs replacing’ list.
