Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup slivered almonds, finely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp almond extract
48 whole blanched almonds
1 large egg yolk
1 tbsp water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F, and mix the first four ingredients - the flour, baking powder, salt and chopped slivered almonds - in a medium-sized bowl.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy; add the egg and almond extract and beat until the ingredients are all well-combined.
Reduce the electric mixer speed to low and blend in the flour mixture.
Roll the dough into 11/4-inch balls, and place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten the balls slightly and press an almond into the centre of each cookie.
Whisk the egg yolk and water together in a cup and lightly brush over the cookies.
Bake the cookies for 11-15 minutes, until just set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes: If you prefer, in step four, use several slivered almonds instead of the blanched whole almonds.
