With the 100-year anniversary of Diamond of California Nuts at hand, I began a search through my recipe box for one of my favorite treasured family recipes: Almond Snowcap Cookies. My mom baked them as part of our holiday cookie tradition when I was a child.
I’m not sure if you’re like me about nuts. (It’s kinda my specialty seeing as how I am one.) But when it comes to baking, I only use premium nuts because the freshness and quality do make a difference in the taste. That’s why I trusted this recipe to Diamond Nuts.
Almond Snowcap Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam (can substitute with other flavors)

Directions:
The Almond Snowcap Cookie recipe comes from my mom, but if you love baking with nuts for the holidays, you should take a peek through the Diamond of California classic family recipes for even more ideas.
