This is another really, really specific day, and also another day celebrating yet another variety of cookie (or biscuit). Admittedly, there are probably an unlimited number of different ways to cook cookies.
Although these are called Chinese, and there is extensive use of almonds ijn Chinese cuisine, these cookies more than likely originated in the US.
There are different ways of making these cookies, but the easiest way is taking a simple, plain cookie recipe, folding almond extract into the dough, and, when putting the cookie mix onto a tray for baking, pressing an almond into the top of them. The cookies would then be baked as normal; the only difference is the almond and almond flavour.
There is a very similar Turkish cookie called the Acibadem Kurabiyesi.
