Almond cookie (8)
I believe the answer is:
macaroon
'almond cookie' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for macaroon that I've seen before include "Biscuit made with almond paste" , "cake" , "Chewy biscuit containing almond paste" , "Sweet biscuit made with ground almonds" , "Coconut-topped biscuit" .)
