This recipe is from my old (1973) Common Market Cookbook/Denmark. The yield for this recipe isn't given in the book and its been so long since I've made them, I really don't remember how many cookies it makes. PLEASE NOTE: This recipe uses vanilla essence which is much stronger than triple-strength vanilla extract. If you are using regular strength vanilla extract, then 1 Tablespoon (or a bit more to taste ) should do it. Ingredients:
18 ounces plain flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
13 ounces butter |
9 ounces sugar |
4 ounces blanched almonds, minced |
1 egg |
3 drops vanilla essence |
Directions:
1. Work all ingredients together and let the dough stand for 20 minutes, in a cool place.
2. Put dough into a pastry bag or cloth and press/roll dough into long thin rolls.
3. Cut rolls into equal sized pieces (about 5-6 inches long) and on a well-greased cookie sheet, form each piece into a small ring slightly overlapping the cut ends.
4. Bake in a fairly hot (400°F, 200°C, GM 6) oven for 10 minutes or until light brown.
