Serves/Makes: 72
Ready in: 30-60 minutes
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- red food coloring (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift flour, sugar, soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir in shortening and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Combine eggs and almond extract; stir into flour mixture, mix well. Shape into balls using a tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet and make a depression in the middle of each cookie. If you don\'t wish to use red dye you may garnish with a piece of blanched almond. Use a chopstick to place a drop of red food coloring in the middle of each cookie. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
