Almond Cookies

Recipe By : Dave Sawyer (RJHV41A), Nov 1991
Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chinese Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 c Flour -- sifted
1 c Shortening
4 tb Corn syrup, molasses, or honey
1 Egg -- beaten
3 tb Almond extract
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
1 c Blanched almonds

Here's an easy recipe that will make about 48 cookies. They may be
wrapped in foil and frozen, if you wish...

Cream the shortening and sugar together and add the beaten egg.
Slowly add the flour, baking soda, almond extract, and syrup to the
mixture and mix until smooth.

Take a small piece of the dough and roll into a ball. Continue until
all the dough has been used. Flatten each ball into a thick cookie
and place an almond on the top of each, pressing it in a little.

Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a 375?F oven for about
20 minutes.

This would be a good recipe for the member who asked about cooking a
Chinese Dinner for 8 since the cookies can be made several days ahead.
