Almond Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lard
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 48 almonds
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or equivalently, 165 degrees Celsius).
2
Combine the dry ingredients of flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Use a sifting motion to blend these components together seamlessly.
3
Introduce the lard into the mixture and utilize a cutting motion to merge it with the dry ingredients until they form a coarse, textured consistency reminiscent of cornmeal.
4
Add the egg and almond extract to the mixture, ensuring a thorough incorporation of these ingredients.
5
Round the dough into 1-inch spherical shapes and position them 2 inches apart on an uncoated cookie sheet.
6
Place a single almond atop each dough ball and apply gentle pressure to flatten it slightly, creating a uniform appearance.
7
Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, taking approximately 15 to 18 minutes.
