Amaretto and almonds make this buttery cookie a

favorite of almond lovers. It's from the Fannie

Farmer Baking Book, the classic book for all sorts

of baking.

 

 

Ingredients:

 

8 ounces butter - softened

1 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg - separated

1 1/2 tablespoons Amaretto

2 teaspoons orange rind - finely grated

2 cups flour

3/4 cup almonds - sliced

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and get out a 10 x

15-inch

jelly roll pan.

 

Combine butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat

until

smooth.

 

Add the salt, egg yolk, Amaretto, and orange rind, and

beat

until blended.

 

Stir in the flour and blend thoroughly. Spread and pat

the

dough evenly over the bottom of the ungreased pan.

 

Beat the egg white just until foamy, spread it evenly

over

the dough, then sprinkle the almonds over all.

 

Bake for about 45 minutes or until lightly golden.

 

Remove from oven and cut into 2-inch squares while
