It's been said that the lard is what produces the traditional taste. However, if desired, butter or margarine may be substituted for very satisfactory results.

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Sift flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together into a bowl. Cut in the lard until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add egg and almond extract. Mix well.
  • Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Set them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place an almond on top of each cookie and press down to flatten slightly
  • Bake in a pre-heated 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) oven for 15-18 minutes. Cool on rack.
