This is an old family recipe for a tasty (and rich) treat. We typically make these once a year-during the winter holidays. These will burn easily, so please watch them carefully when baking! They are also brittle when cooled, so they aren't always the best for travel.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb butter or 1/2 lb oleo
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. preheat oven to 400F.
2. Cream: butter/oleo and sugar.
3. Add: egg, baking powder, almond extract, and unsifted flour.
4. Put through cookie press onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake for approximately 6-8 minutes.
