These are one of my favorite cookies during the holidays
Almond
Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
Directions:
In a large
bowl, beat butter with 1/2 cup sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy.
With
wooden spoon, stir in flour until smooth and well combined.
Divide
dough into 2 parts. Refrigerate, covered for 2 hours.
Preheat
oven 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
On lightly
sugared surface, roll out dough, one part at a time, about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a 1
1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies.
Place 1
inch apart, on ungreased cookie sheet.
With end
of wooden spoon, or cookie press, make an indentation in center of each cookie.
Bake 25 to
30 minutes, or until light golden brown around the edges.
While

Cool
completely on a wire rack.
