Emma, that is an AWFUL lot of cinnamon! Is it really tablespoons??

[emma-casaouia]

Oh, oops, I think I meant teaspoons :/
But personally, I really like cinnamon and I often use tablespoons ;)
But thank you for pointing out to me this detail :)

Those are adorable Christmas cookies! I've never heard of almond powder before (I don't cook much), is it easy to find?

[AMAZONIAbydjljwilliams]

[emma-casaouia]

Yes, it's exactly what it is :)
