OB: I'm also making some cookies for Bill's lunches this week - he
gets the late afternoon munchies and I thought these might fill the
bill <snort!>:

Almond Butter Cookies

cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoo unsalted butter; softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds with skins 4 1/2 oz; toasted and cooled com

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Beat together butter, sugars, corn syrup, vanilla, and almond extract
in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed (use
paddle attachment if you have a stand mixer) until pale and fluffy,
about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture and mix
just until a dough begins to form. Add almonds and mix just until
incorporated. Form dough into a rectangular log (about 12 inches long,
2 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick). Wrap in wax paper and chill until
firm, about 2 hours.

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Butter a
large baking sheet.

Cut half of log into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a thin sharp knife and
arrange 3/4 inch apart on baking sheet. (Keep remaining dough
chilled.)

Bake cookies until golden, about 12 minutes, then transfer with a thin
metal spatula to a rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

Cooks' notes:
• Dough can be chilled up to 2 days, or frozen, wrapped also in
plastic wrap, 1 month. Transfer frozen dough to refrigerator to thaw
slightly at least 2 hours before slicing. • Cookies can be baked 3
days ahead and cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container
at room temperature.

Girl, you and your cookies are keeping me busy. I can't tell you how
many times I've had to make the Harris Ranch Pecan Drops, the most
requested cookie. I have a co-worker that has a slight nut "issue"
that brings Benadryl to work just so she can have one.
I think if I make these also I could go into the cookie business.

Bill doesn't tolerate the Harris Ranch cookies very well, but just try
keeping his hand out of the cookie jar! The almond butter cookies,
though, he tolerates very well. Guess which one he prefers?
