I used to work at cookies by design,so this is the real deal - except modified a little because the average person will not be able to buy almond emulsion or spread Also, this recipe is scaled down from it's original, which was made in a 60 qt. mixer. It may have to be scaled down again. I have not made it at home. I must warn you, I do not know the yield on these cookies. I made up a number...
