| Almond Sugar Cookies (makes about 32 cookies)
5 tablespoons of margarine
1/2 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of egg white
1/4 teaspoon of almond extract
1 cup of unbleached all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
a pinch of tartar
32 almond slices |
|
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, cream margarine and sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in egg white and almond extract. Gradually stir in flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar; mix well. Form into 1/2-inch balls. Place on a nonstick cookie sheet at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Dip a flat-bottomed glass into flour and press down on each ball to flatten cookie. Top each cookie with an almond slice. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool. |
