"My grandfather didn't cook very often, and he baked even less, but when he whipped up a batch of these delicious cookies, everyone's mouth watered!"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 30

ingredients

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 30 whole almonds

directions

1. Cream together sugar, shortening, egg, extract and water. Mix in flour - the dough will seem quite stiff.
2. Scoop out onto greased cookie sheet and flatten each gently with your palm.
3. Push a whole almond on top of each cookie (I guessed on the almond amount, you may need more or less).
4. Bake at 350* about 10 minutes until golden brown.
