Melt butter with water in a small saucepan over low heat, remove from heat and cool slightly. Sift together flour and baking soda into a bowl. Stir together sugar, spices and salt in a large bowl until just combined. Stir in butter mixture, (will look like wet sand) then almonds. Add flour mixture and stir to a sticky dough. Transfer dough to parchment paper and pat into an 8 by 6 inch rectangle (1 inch thick) and chill, covered, in freezer, until firm, 35 to 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut dough into half (into two 4 by 6 inch rectangles). Cut each rectangle into 24 slices (1/4 inch thick). Arrange cookies 1/2 inch apart, cut sides down, on lined baking sheets.
