Adaptable Almond Cookies!
Some people are allergic to almonds so that's why it's "adaptable."
Here is the basic recipe, which can be doubled:
6 TB butter (softened)
1/2 sugar
1 egg white (use whole egg, if recipe doubled)
1/2 tsp. flavoring (almond or vanilla, butter etc.)
2 c. flour (use all purpose, almond, coconut, or Gluten Free, DO NOT USE SELF-RISING)
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)
Chill for 15- 30 min (depending on the size of your batch).
Use small scoop or roll into 1 in balls. Press down with thumb.
Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
This recipe will yield about 2 dozen cookies and doubled yields 4 dozen.
This recipe makes delicious almond cookies, pecan sandies, coconut cookies, or even lemon (depending on the
flavoring). Adapt it to suit yourself!
