Ingredients

Directions

Into large bowl, measure flour, butter or margarine, almond extract, 1/4 cup sugar and egg yolk.

With hands, knead ingredients until well-blended and mixture holds together.

(Mixture will appear dry at first -- of too dry, add about 1 tablespoon of water while kneading.)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

On lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin, roll half of dough into a 10 x 9 inch rectangle.

With pastry brush, brush dough with half of egg white; sprinkle half of almonds and 1 tablespoon sugar.

Cut dough into fifteen 3 x 2 inch rectangles.

With pancake turner, place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 10 - 12 minutes until lightly browned.

With pancake turner, remove cookies to wire rack to cool.

Repeat with remaining dough.

Store cookies in tightly covered container to use up within 2 weeks.
