Cheese Balls Rolled in Almonds

I have been in a crazy mood of cooking and baking for the past month. Some I took their photos of... some I just missed doing that. Basically if I cook in the evening, as soon as I am done cooking, I just can't wait to eat it. Except it is something you can eat even when it's cold, like cookies! Also, I have had this strange urge to keep eating cheesy stuff. And the result is I have baked three kinds of cheese cookies from different recipes in the past 2 weeks. THAT I find very peculiar. Definitely out of habit for me.

But then, take a look at the bright sides: I get to eat the cheese cookies I've been longing for and I get to blog about them here!

The cheese cookies I am talking about now are covered by almond pieces. I have to admit that I didn't see the picture well. The recipe calls for crushed almond pieces without skin, but I bought the ones WITH skin.

And then I was too impatient to cut them into very thin slices. That made two third of the cookies were covered by almonds (rather chunky almonds, I must say), and the rest was bare. Both tasted lovely. Vincent loved the ones with the chunky almonds. Me, I preferred the bare cheese cookies. I got to taste the cheese more, unobstructed by the almonds.
