1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3
Cream sugar and shortening until fluffy. Beat eggs with almond extract, then add to sugar mixture. Mix well.
4
Gradually add dry ingredients to sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
5
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly, as these don't spread very much.
6
If you want them to look like traditional Chinese almond cookies, mix a few drops of red food coloring with a few drops of water. Using the blunt end of a chopstick, dip into the red color, then stamp a dot into the center of each cookie. Alternately, you can place a bleached almond in the center of each cookie.
7
Bake 20 minutes or until just barely brown on the edges. Transfer to rack to cool.
