Almond Cookies
List Of Ingredients:
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup blanched almond halves
1 egg, beaten
Steps Needed To Make Almond Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl of electric mixer, cream together the shortening and sugar, then beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the almond extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. With a wooden spoon, gradually beat the flour mixture into the shortening mixture. The dough will be fairly firm. Divide the dough in half and roll each into a log, about 1 1/2-inch in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours.
Slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet, then press an almond half into the top each cookie. With pastry brush lightly brush the cookies with the beaten egg. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until light golden brown in color. Remove cookies from cookie sheet to wire racks to cool completely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book!, November 29, 2010
This book is fantastic. There are a wide variety of recipes. I have tried 2 so far and they have been a huge hit! I also own Tish Boyle's "The Cake Book" and love it as well. She is very knowledgable and there is very good information and recipes in both books. Click the Amazon link below to read more great reviews!
The Good Cookie: Over 250 Delicious Recipes from Simple to Sublime
Amazon Price: $18.33 (as of 05/28/2012)
Editorial Review:
With over 250 recipes to choose from, Boyle makes the task much easier with mouth-watering introductions that describe in detail the appearance, texture, and taste of every cookie. The chapters are organized by technique, but the recipes are reorganized in an ingenious index by occasion or use: Ship Well, For Grown-Ups, Over-the-Top Chocolate, Bake Sale Bonanza, and the like. You'll find favorites such as Russian Tea Cakes, Lattice-Topped Linzer Bars, and Hermits, and crowd pleasers like Citrus Sandwiches and Blueberry Crumble Bars. Contributions from others include Chocolate Cranberry Spice Cookies, Ginger Fortune Cookies, and Midnight Brownies (made with Midnight Milky Way bars!). But what makes The Good Cookie priceless are the gems such as the crispy, chewy Tangerine Kumquat Rounds, explosive with citrus flavor, and Boyle's clear, detailed instructions that ensure their success. - Leora Y.

Almond Spice Cookies
These cookies are delicious but watch out because they burn easily due to the low moisture level of the batter. I glazed them with some orange icing, which was a good pairing.
