Add a photoA basic and delicious version of the popular Chinese cookie - minus the lard! I prefer sliced almonds throughout the dough rather than the single almond on top as we often see on those at Chinese buffets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
Directions
- In large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add almond extract, flour, baking soda, salt and almonds, stirring until well combined.
- Roll into one-inch size balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Press down lightly to flatten but don't smash.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes, until bottoms of cookies are golden brown (tops will still be creamy white). Remove cookies to cool on rack. Makes about 40 cookies.
