Preparation

Step 1

• Preheat oven to 350F.

• In a medium sized bowl, stir butter until smooth.

• Add icing sugar and continue to mix.

• Add eggs and vanilla, and combine until the batter is free of lumps.

• Add the salt, flour and baking powder, and mix the batter together until it is combined completely.

• Take a couple of tablespoons of cookie batter and roll into a ball. Press the ball between the palms of your hands to flatten it to be about the size of a sand dollar (3"-4" round).

• Cover one side of the cookie in cinnamon sugar by pressing the cookie into the cinnamon sugar in a small bowl. Remove the cookie from the sugar and place onto a prepared baking tray or pan.

• Once the cookie is in the pan, place five sliced almonds in the centre of the cookie, in a star shape (refer to cookie pictures).

• Repeat assembly for as many cookies as will fit in your pan.

• Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown at the edges.
