Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg yolk and vanilla, then flour, salt, and finely chopped almonds, mixing well.

Shape the dough into 2 rolls, each 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Wrap rolls (using waxed paper or plastic wrap) and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Place 1 to 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until lightly browned.

Cool on a rack.

This is very good. Tastes great!
