Ingredients
3/4 lb butter
2-1/2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1-1/2 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Beat butter, sugar, and extract together. Add eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate in between each.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cream of tartar, and baking soda.
- Cut the two mixtures together. The mixture will be dry and in small pea sized pieces.
- Roll into two logs, wrap in wax paper, and chill overnight.
- Slice into thin (3/16") slices and bake in a 350* oven until golden brown (about 15 minutes).
Optional: top each cookie with 1/2 of an almond before baking.
