Ingredients
35 almonds
10 almonds
1 cup lard
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Blanch almonds. Leave the first quantity whole; grind the remainder to a fine powder. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together lard and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat egg and add, along with ground almonds and almond extract. Blend in well.
3. Sift flour together with baking powder and salt. Gradually add to bowl, mixing with the hands to blend. Then knead into a dough. (If the dough is too stiff, add water a drop at a time to make it more pliable, but do not soften too much.)
4. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Then, with a cookie cutter, cut in 1 1/2 inch circles. (Or pinch off the dough and form into small balls which, when flattened, will make cookies of the same size.)
5. Grease a baking sheet with peanut oil; arrange cookies on top. With chopsticks or finger, make an indentation in the center of each cookie; then press in a whole almond. Bake until pale golden
