Excellent Christmas recipe. Wilkinson. I have not changed anything in the recipe it is excellent the way it is. For variety add a 1/2 tsp Almond extract orfresh ground nutmeg or finely grated orange peel. Try the original first tho you won't be disappointed. Ingredients:
1 lb butter, room temperature |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
1 large egg, beaten |
4 1/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup almonds, slivered, toasted |
Directions:
1. Heat oven 375°F degrees.
2. Cream together butter and sugar; add beaten egg.
3. Mix together flour & salt.
4. Using a wooden spoon stir flour into the creamed butter mixture.
5. Work in the nuts until evenly distributed.
6. Divide dough into 4 parts and roll each part into a sausage about 2-inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate until firm.
7. Slice the dough into 1/4 slices and place 1 apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes (bake in center of the oven) Do not let the cookies brown too much they should be the color of shortbread-pale golden.
9. Store in tins in the fridge or freezer.
