Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly firm
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, separated
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned in and leveled
1 cup sliced blanched almonds
1/2teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Position the shelf in the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 3500. Generously butter the jelly roll pan. 2. In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter on medium-low speed until it is creamy and lightened in color. Add l/2 cup of the granulated sugar along with the light brown sugar, and mix for 1 minute, then mix in the egg yolk and the extracts. 3. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Using a wooden spoon or oversized rubber spatula, work 1 cup of flour at a time into the dough, being careful not to overmix. Divide the dough into eight portions and place in the pan, pressing it as evenly as you can. Insert a dough scraper, small spatula, or the flat side of a plastic pastry come between the dough and the sides of the pan to clean the edges. 4. In a small bowl, mix the egg white with a fork until frothy, then spread evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Combine the remaining sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle over the almonds. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. from: great cookies
