1 c. butter (2 squares) Grandma Berlin uses Imperial Margarine:)
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg (or 2 yolks)
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. almond
Cream butter adding sugar gradually. Add the egg & mix well. Add dry ingredients and almond extract. Force through cookie press. Bake at 375° 7-8 minutes.
These are my favorite holiday cookies... especially when Grandma Berlin makes them:).
Additional notes... Beat margarine for a few minutes to make it light and fluffy before adding sugar. Beat another couple of minutes after adding the sugar. Mix well after eggs and then add the rest of ingredients. Spoon flour into measuring cup and level off. In my oven 9-10 min. @ 350 was perfect! Let them cool on the cookie sheets before transferring them to a cooling rack.
