Ingredients: 2 ¼ cups flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; ½ teaspoon salt; ¼ cup slivered almonds, finely chopped; 1 cup unsalted butter, softened; ¾ cup sugar; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon almond extract; 48 whole blanched almonds; 1 large egg yolk; 1 tablespoon water

Servings: persons

2 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup slivered almonds, finely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
48 whole blanched almonds
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

1
Preheat the oven to 350F, and mix the first four ingredients - the flour, baking powder, salt and chopped slivered almonds - in a medium-sized bowl.
2
With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy; add the egg and almond extract and beat until the ingredients are all well-combined.
3
Reduce the electric mixer speed to low and blend in the flour mixture.
4
Roll the dough into 11/4-inch balls, and place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
5
Flatten the balls slightly and press an almond into the centre of each cookie.
6
Whisk the egg yolk and water together in a cup and lightly brush over the cookies.
7
Bake the cookies for 11-15 minutes, until just set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes: If you prefer, in step four, use several slivered almonds instead of the blanched whole almonds.
