Jan Hagel Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sugar
1 c. butter
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp. almond extract
almond slices

Preparation

Cream together butter and sugar.
Beat in egg yolk.
Gradually stir in flour and cinnamon. Add almond extract.
Press dough thinly into a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet until sheet is completely covered.
(Dough will fill 2 cookie sheets.)
Beat egg white slightly with a small amount of water (enough to thin egg white and make it watery).
Brush egg white mixture thinly over dough to serve as a glaze.
Sprinkle almond slices over dough. Bake at 300\u00b0 for 25 minutes.
Cut cookies into desired size and remove from baking sheet immediately. An alternative method is to make cookies with a cookie press.
