SAWYER (RJHV41A)
3 cups Sifted flour
1 cup Shortening
4 tablespoons Corn syrup; or molasses -- honey
1 Egg -- beaten
3 tablespoons Almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking soda
1 cup Blanched almonds

Here's an easy recipe that will make about four dozen cookies. They may be
wrapped in foil and frozen, if you wish...

Cream the shortening and sugar together and add the beaten egg. Slowly add
the flour, baking soda, almond extract, and syrup to the mixture and mix
until smooth.

Take a small piece of the dough and roll into a ball.
Continue until all the dough has been used. Flatten each ball into a thick
cookie and place an almond on the top of each, pressing it in a little.

Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

This would be a good recipe for the member who asked about cooking a
Chinese Dinner for eight since the cookies can be made several days ahead.
ENJOY!
