Almond Cookies

Beat to a hard sauce ¼ pound sweet butter and ¼ pound pulverized sugar (sifted). Add the yolks of 3 well-beaten eggs. When a smooth cream, add 4, ounces blanched and sliced almonds, and 6 ounces Five Roses flour (in which has been sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder).

Stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth paste. Use sugar in making the dough into balls, and set these 1 inch apart in greased pan. Wet the tops lightly and sprinkle with sugar and place an almond in the centre of each. Bake to a light straw color.
