1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |

1/2 cup sliced almonds or 1/2 cup pine nuts |
1 teaspoon granulated sugar |

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, milk, and almond extract; beat till combined. Mix in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Do not chill dough.
2. Pack the dough into a cookie press fitted with a ribbon plate. force dough through cookie press onto ungreased cookie sheets, making 2 1/2-inch ribbons about 1-inch apart. Using a pastry brush, brush each cookie with egg white , then sprinkle with almond or pine nuts and granulated sugar.
