• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 36 blanched almonds
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions :

Prep :	Cook : 18M	Ready in :

• Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a large bowl. Using pastry blender or knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Beat the egg together with 2 tablespoons of the water and the almond extract. Add this to the flour mixture and mix with a fork until dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it is smooth. Wrap it in foil or cling-wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Form dough into 1 inch balls and place them 3 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch thick and press an almond into the center of each. Beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and brush on cookies.
• Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool.

Notes :

• Reynolds® Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
