Seeds & Nuts Cookies

This basic recipe is for Chinese almond cookies, and they are easy to make. One day when my friend showed up with her kid, I wanted to make these cookies, but I did not have almonds so, and in the house. I replaced almonds with one cup of a mixture of seeds and nuts, and they turned out perfect. Because it is so simple, that I could engage her kid to help, and we had a lot of fun while making these cookies.
