Almond Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

1/4 tsp of salt
3/4 c of sifted confectioners sugar
1 c of margarine
1 tsp of almond extract
2 1/4 c of sifted flour
1 c of almonds; blanched & ground

Instructions:

Mix together salt, powdered sugar & flour and make sure that they are all sifted together. Next, cream the butter. Add in all dry recipe ingredients then mix them well. Then, add in chopped/ground almonds and almond extract. If you want you can chill them so that it will be easy to handle them.

After chilling, a teaspoonful of dough should be shaped in balls then place the dough balls onto baking sheets that have not been greased then flatten them out in circle shapes around 1/2-inch thick. Edges should be fluted so they will form scallop like indentations.

Bake in your oven for about 20-25 mins. at around 325 degrees fahrenheit or just until they are light gold in color. Take them off the sheets right away then make sure they are cooled sufficiently prior to serving.
