I've made the pecan version of these from Rose Beranbaum's book "Rose's Christmas Cookies" for years. When I catered, I used to offer them with assorted bite-sized desserts, without the powdered sugar, with a rosette of mocha buttercream and a perfect half pecan on top. Can't wait to try them with almonds. Lemon buttercream with slivered almonds on top in the shape of a butterfly will be so pretty. I used KAF non-melting sugar this past Christmas for the first time - excellent!
