 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 30 Servings
 
 
      1/2 c  sliced almonds
      1/2 c  unsalted butter -- room
  :          temperature
      1/2 c  dark brown sugar
        1    egg
        1    egg yolk
      1/2 ts almond extract
    1 3/4 c  flour
    1 1/2 ts cinnamon
      1/2 ts salt
        1 TB lemon peel -- finely grated
      1/3 c  cherry jam
  
  1.  Grind the almonds until almost a powder in a food processor. Set
  aside. 2. In the large bowl of an electric mixer beat the butter
  until creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat until completely blended,
  about 1 minute. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and almond extract. 3. Sift
  together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Slowly add to the
  creamed mixture in 3 additions, beating well after each addition,
  until completely blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl
  occasionally. Blend in the almonds and lemon peel by hand. The dough
  will feel sticky; let stand 10 minutes before using. 4. Shape the
  dough into balls that are slightly smaller than 1 inch, as this dough
  will spread. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Make an indentation in
  the center of each with your thumb and fill with about 1/4 teaspoon
  of the cherry jam. 5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 12 minutes.
  Let cool a few minutes before removing to wire racks.
