Samantha! That was my American girl doll growing up, too. Did you have the whole book collection of the original dolls? I poured over those things and constantly imagined myself living their lives.
Anyway, I admire your tenacity. Maybe you could’ve been a figure skater or had 12 kids and a reality show, but your life is pretty dang good because you simply keep getting up & cooking/baking/living & assigning gorgeous words to the process. Keep it up. Cheering you on.
haha, thank you for those encouraging words!!! I think Samantha's was the only cookbook I owned, but I for sure had the chapter books of all the other dolls. Kristin was my least favorite because wow was her life depressing.
I prefer almond extract here. I feel it reinforces the almond meal flavor in a nice way. But I’m also Scandinavian so I’m biased. If you make them, give me your feedback! I’m still toying a bit with flour combo.

Okay if you have both vanilla and almond extract is there one you think is better than the other?
