Is possible something missing like baking soada or baking powder, The filling is great tasting the cookies taste is good also especailly with a little almond extract, but I baked some the other day and the cookie texture was somewhere between cardboartd and plywood. Ther is no leaveneing to sften the texture, should be maybe some baking soda?

So sorry I left the baking soda out..add 1 tsp. I hope you will try them again..they are so good...the outside cookie part should be firm but not plywood.
