I add almond extract and chopped

almonds to this recipe for a change of flavor. Also, add 2 tsp. lemon & 1 tsp. nutmeg. I love this as they freeze well too.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make, but they are very rich. I double the recipe but only use 1 1/2 cup of oil and they don't crumble as bad. I still get rave reviews. I also roll them in powdered sugar then flatten.
