This recipe is from the back of a box of McCormick Spice Company almond extract. If you like almonds, you'll like these cookies. Perfect for tea time! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1/2 cup almonds, finely ground |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons almond extract (not imitation) |
slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together, flour, ground almonds, baking powder, salt and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Blend in the egg and almond extract. Gradually stir in the flour and almond meal alternately; but do not overmix batter.
3. Arrange parchment paper on a baking sheet and drop dough by rounded tablespoon (I butter a cookie scoop) onto ungreased baking sheet.
4. Garnish the cookie dough with a few slivered almonds.
5. Bake 8-10 minutes or until very light golden brown.
