Does anyone know the recipe for almond cookies? (Or have this cook book?)?

This recipe was from a children's cookbook and absolutely crumbly, melt-in-my-mouth delicious. You used real almonds and then crushed them in the blender. There was no almond extract, just almonds. And I remember there was butter.





The book was rectangular, and a paperback.


It had a picture of a young boy and young girl on it. I think the boy's name was Zack. I don't remember the girl's name.


In the book, there was also a recipe for a hotdog wrapped in a crescent roll and lemon bars.





Will anyone care to post the lemon bars+almond cookie recipe?





By the way, the cookies were not like the chinese ones. They were more flaky and more buttery and melted in your mouth.Does anyone know the recipe for almond cookies? (Or have this cook book?)?
