You'll be remembered for these cookies when you serve them for a morning coffee or at a gathering. Melted chips drizzled on top make them look fancy, but they're so easy to make.—Julianne Johnson, Grove City, Minnesota
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, cream and extract. Combine the remaining ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture (batter will be thick).
2. Spoon into three greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes.
3. Remove to a cutting board; cut each loaf into nine slices with a serrated knife. Place cut side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn slices; bake 10 minutes longer or until crisp and golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 27 cookies.
