green tea almond cookies

i used to throw a lot of tea parties.  i would get a few girls in sun dresses together and ask everyone to bring a dish.  i’d  brew up some tea and lemonade, throw some table cloths on tables in my front yard, and from there the parties seemed to takes care of themselves!

it’s been a while since i threw such a shindig, but making these cookies made me yearn for one.  if you plan on throwing a tea party anytime soon, these little treats would be perfect.
