The round cousin to the almond canoe, the Rondo is the undisputed king of the traditional Dutch cookie tin.

A thick, shortcrust butter pastry base acts as a cup for a generous filling of soft almond paste. The top is baked to a slight crisp, usually finished with a single almond pressed into the center.

Because these are quite rich, one tart is the perfect serving. Bring these out when you have guests over, paired with a fresh pot of coffee.
