ALMOND COOKIES
I found this recipe on a Crisco display in the grocery store. I like to make at least one cookie for the holidays that is flavored with almond extract. These cookies are easy to make and are sweet and tender. Much like the cookies you get in a Chinese restaurant except they are more like a shortbread and not as "hard".
