An almond cookie recipe passed down from my grandmother to me with some modifications.

3 cups flour
1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup almond halve (optional a) (optional)
red food coloring (optional b) (optional)
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 275.
2. Cream margarine and sugar together.
3. Beat egg and almond extract together.
4. Mix steps 2 and 3 together.
5. Sift flour and baking soda together.
6. Mix steps 4 and 5 together.
7. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet. (place balls with enough spacing since the dough will spread out to a 2-3 inch cookie as it bakes).
8. Option A - place 1/2 almond in center of ball.
9. Option B - using a Q-tip, soak tip with food coloring and push using a twist motion into the center of the ball.
10. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
