Almond and raspberry make for a perfect pairing, these luscious little cookies are proof of that. The punch of vibrant raspberry flavor comes from ground up freeze-dried raspberries, which offer an intense flavor without adding any extra moisture.

I have made these several times and I love them! I decided to use cinnamon today instead of dried raspberries. They taste amazing! I used 2 tsp of cinnamon. Either way, delish! Thanks for an awesome recipe.
Thank you for the lovely recipes. I had made the almond and the chocolate ones and loves them both. Today I made these with strawberry and instead of the almond extract I added a touch of lemon extract for a touch of brightness. I can taste all the flavours in an explosion in my mouth that almost reminds me of cotton candy! Totally will make these again
The powdered sugar on my cookies totally melted into the cookie. Would it work to roll in powdered sugar after they are baked? I also substituted the sugars for monk fruit sweetener granulated and powdered for a sugar free version. The taste was still very good.
Mine turned brown. I even bought the trader Joes freeze dried raspberries. The powdered sugar also absorbed and they were rolled and put straight to the oven, left in for exactly 30 minutes. they taste good just unfortunate I wanted to make them mainly because if the color.
Welcome to Love & Olive Oil, the culinary adventures of Lindsay and Taylor. We're all about food that is approachable but still impressive, unique and creative yet still true to its culinary roots. (More about us...)
Niccol[1] "Nico" di Angelo is a fourteen-year-old[2] Italian-born Greek demigod, the son of Hades and the late Maria di Angelo. He is a main character in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and The Trials of Apollo series of books, and the protagonist of The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure. Nico is the younger brother of the late Bianca di Angelo and the paternal half-brother of Hazel Levesque. He is known in the Underworld as the "Ghost King" after taking the title from Minos in The Battle of the Labyrinth. He is an openly gay boy, having been outed in The House of Hades by Cupid who forced him to admit that he had a crush on Percy Jackson. Nico is the boyfriend of Will Solace.
Nico di Angelo was born in or around 1932 on January 28th in Venice, Italy, before World War II (before Hades and his brothers took an oath to have no more demigod children) to Hades and Maria di Angelo, their second child together, the first being his older sister Bianca di Angelo. He was raised in a conservative catholic home.
As a child, Nico was obsessed with pirates and the game Mythomagic, which caused him to find the knowledge of being a demigod very exciting. At around the age of six, Nico visited Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia.
At some point near the beginning of World War II, Nico and his family left Italy for the United States, where they stayed at a fancy hotel in Washington, D.C.. Around the age of eight, shortly after arriving, Nico was playing Mythomagic with another boy his age, Henry Whittaker, and he mentioned that Ares was pretty. Henry said that was weird and they stopped hanging out.
One day, as Hades was begging his mother to store him and Bianca somewhere safe as Zeus was planning to kill them. Shortly after, she died when Zeus struck the hotel they were staying in with lightning in an attempt to kill the siblings, since he thought they would be too dangerous. However, they were protected by Hades as he erected an impenetrable wall of black energy to shield them from Zeus' bolts, but Hades was not able to protect their mother in time.
Afterward, a devastated Hades ordered the Fury Alecto to take Nico and Bianca to the Underworld and bathe them in the River Lethe, in order to wipe away their memories, and told her to give their mother the Ancient rites. The lord of the dead also swore revenge on Zeus. This later caused him to send monsters to attack and try to kill Thalia Grace, Zeus' daughter.
In The Titan's Curse, Bianca says that she and Nico had no memories of their mortal parent and told by a lawyer (Alecto in disguise), in Washington D.C., that their parents were dead, and had left a bank trust for them. This "lawyer" would come by once in a while to check on both of them. During this time, Nico and Bianca were enrolled in a boarding school. Meanwhile, Bianca familiarized herself with the city's subway system. In The Blood of Olympus, Nico sees a brief flashback from this time - his sister Bianca, laughing as she pulled him across the National Mall. After some time had passed, Hades, hoping that one of his children might one day become the "child of the Eldest Gods" (referred to in the Great Prophecy), decided to place them in the Lotus Hotel and Casino, and tasked Alecto with the job. Once again disguised as a lawyer, Alecto had Nico and Bianca leave the boarding school, and took them all the way to the Lotus Hotel, in Las Vegas.
After what the siblings thought was a month in the Lotus Hotel (which turned out to be 70 years), they were taken out by Alecto, this time disguised as a different lawyer. Alecto drove Nico and Bianca back east, through D.C., and then up into Maine. They were brought to a military school called Westover Hall, paid for by Hades using what Nico and Bianca thought to be a trust fund left to them by their parents. At this point, Nico became obsessed with Mythomagic, a card game. It was later revealed that Nico had been obsessed with pirates even before he started collecting Mythomagic cards. Bianca mentioned that the summer before she left Westover Hall (during the events of The Sea of Monsters), she and Nico visited Washington D.C. once again, and were very surprised to see several subway stations that had not been there before. Bianca mentions that during their visit, several monsters (disguised as mortals) attempted to attack them in an alley. Nico also mentions seeing a bus driver (most likely a satyr in disguise) with ram's horns, though Bianca had not believed him at the time.
Nico and his sister, Bianca di Angelo, appear at a school dance at Westover Hall, a boarding school in Bar Harbor, Maine. Grover explained to Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia that he'd discovered them at school but every time he tries going near them, Dr. Thorn keeps blocking him. They saw them arguing on the bleachers, with Nico playing with Mythomagic cards. Bianca and Nico were later taken by Dr. Thorn, scared of Percy. Dr. Thorn tried to kidnap them and Nico stood up for Bianca when Dr. Thorn called her an "insufferable girl". Percy tried defending the siblings and Thalia and Annabeth later jumped in to defend them. Nico got excited when he found out Dr. Thorn was a Manticore, saying he had 3,000 attack powers and 5 saving throws.
After they were saved, Percy told Nico and Bianca that they were demigods, and Nico thought it was cool, and immediately asked questions about Zeus. Nico also complimented Percy about how he attacked the manticore. Nico was also excited after he heard about Camp Half-Blood and immediately wanted to go. While Artemis spoke to Bianca, Nico went to talk to Grover in the woods about "geeky stuff". When they came back, Nico exclaimed that Percy's arm was green while Grover healed it. Nico also showed Percy his collection of Mythomagic cards and figurines and asked to see his sword. Nico immediately asked Percy a lot of questions, annoying him, including asking if Annabeth was his girlfriend. Percy almost lost his cool until Zo Nightshade asked to see Percy.
Bianca talked to Nico explaining her decision to join the Hunters of Artemis, making Nico upset and gloomy. However, Nico was impressed with Apollo and said he had a cool car. When they got on the bus, Bianca left Nico to sit in the front of the bus with Percy, Thalia, Grover, and Apollo while she sat with the Hunters. Nico asked Apollo a lot of questions about the gods and the sun, making Apollo laugh and ruffle Nico's hair and answer them, not making sense to Nico. Nico asked if he could drive the car, but Apollo said he was too young.
When they arrived at Camp, Nico asked Percy about the lava climbing wall. Bianca whispered something in Nico's ear, but he scowled and looked away, making Percy wonder what Bianca told him. He also asked who Chiron was, and said he didn't have his figurine. Percy explained it to him, and Nico said if the Hunters didn't like him, it was good enough for him. Percy introduced Nico to Chiron and Dionysus and was taken by Grover to see the orientation film, after asking what rating it was, since Bianca was strict. Later, Nico was impressed when finding out that Chiron was a centaur. Nico was also impressed by Dionysus and called him "the wine dude", after saying he had his figurine in Mythomagic, and talked to him about the defense points all the gods had in the game.
At dinner, Nico sat with Connor and Travis Stoll at the Hermes cabin table, telling him poker was a better game than Mythomagic. The next day, Nico played Capture the Flag on a team with Percy, the Stoll Brothers, Charles Beckendorf, Silena Beauregard, and some others. Nico ran up to Percy before the game started telling him the game was awesome, with a helmet too big for him. Nico asked if he could kill the other team, but Percy told him it was serious and that swords could hurt. Nico took guard duty with the Stolls and Beckendorf and cheered when Percy crossed the boundary line.
The next day, Percy found Nico spying on Bianca and Zo arguing about what happened to Phoebe in the early morning. Nico later saw Percy after he removed the invisibility cap, and thought it was cool. Nico told Percy he didn't sleep too well and wanted to follow Bianca on to the quest, but Percy said he couldn't because she could die, making Nico say Percy could go for him. Nico and Percy argued until Nico asked if he was planning to go anyway, and Percy said yes. Nico said he wouldn't tell on him, but he had to promise he had to keep Bianca safe. Percy promised, and Nico said he would make an excuse up to Chiron, and told him to go.
