Chinese Almond Cookie Recipe
Makes about 20 cookies

Ingredients
2 ½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter (can also substitute for lard, or ½ cup butter ½ cup Crisco – but I find all butter tastes best)
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
1 beaten egg combined with 1 T milk for eggwash
¼ cup sliced almonds (whole almonds work as well)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 F
2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Mix in egg and almond extract
3. Scoop out 1 ½ - 2 T dough, roll into a ball, and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Flatten with bottom of glass that has been dipped in flour. Brush with eggwash, and top with almonds.
4. Bake at 325F for 17 min or until edges are golden brown.
