My grandfather didn't cook very often, and he baked even less, but when he whipped up a batch of these delicious cookies, everyone's mouth watered!
Ingredients:
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons cold water
30 whole almonds
Directions:
1. Cream together sugar, shortening, egg, extract and water. Mix in flour - the dough will seem quite stiff.
2. Scoop out onto greased cookie sheet and flatten each gently with your palm.
3. Push a whole almond on top of each cookie (I guessed on the almond amount, you may need more or less).
4. Bake at 350* about 10 minutes until golden brown.
