Not too sweet, these nutty, crunchy cookies go well with a cup of hot coffee...and travel well in care packages, too! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1-3/4 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons almond extract |
5 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
1 cup finely chopped almonds |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extract. Sift together flour, cardamom and soda; add alternately with sour cream to creamed mixture. Fold in almonds. Divide dough into six parts; shape into rolls (like refrigerated cookie dough). Place three each on two greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes or until light brown. Remove rolls to cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice rolls diagonally 1/2 in. thick. Place cookies on sheets; return to oven and bake until light brown. Cool; store in tightly covered containers. Yield: 6 dozen.
