Coarsely chop slivered almonds
combine with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and 5 tablespoon softened butter
Knead together by hand, this is the tricky part…if it turns out dry or crumbly, you will need to add more softened butter. Start with 2 tablespoons at a time. The dough needs to be softer and fluffier than regular cookie dough.
butter your cookie sheets
Test your dough by baking just a few to make sure they will melt. If they do not melt, add a little more softened butter. If they melt too much, add a little more brown sugar and flour to the mixture.
