By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup slivered almonds
• 1 tablespoon dark molasses
• 2/3 cup softened butter
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons water

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. With the steel blade, mix until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into 3 parts and shape each into a roll about 1 inch in diameter. Roll up in plastic wrap or waxed paper and chill until firm, 1 to 2 hours or longer.

Cover baking sheets with parchment. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the cookies 1/4-inch thick and place on baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until barely browned.
