Oat Almond Biscuits
An easy almond biscuit recipe that's great for nibbling and dunking in tea, made with oats for added texture. Pecan nuts, pistachios or macadamias would all make a good substitute if you wanted to swap out the almonds. Leave plenty of space between the dough balls on the tray, as these biscuits will spread out while baking.
