Almond Shortbread Recipe


Almond Shortbread Recipe
Amazingly simple, shortbread cookies are a favorite in my home. I love them, and my family loves them. A nice twist here, is adding almonds to bring something different to this timeless classic.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 8 ounces brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup almonds -- flaked
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract

Directions
  1. Rub butter and margarine into the flour.
  2. Add sugar, beaten egg and almonds, and extracts.
  3. Knead the mixture thoroughly.
  4. Form mixture into an oblong shape about two inches square at the end.
  5. Wrap in foil and leave in the refrigerator overnight.
  6. Cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a serrated knife.
  7. Place on greased baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  8. *another idea, is that I form it into a ball, and leave it in the fridge. Then I roll out the dough and cut out fun shapes with a cookie cutter.*
