Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cups softened butter
1 egg
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1/2 cups finely chopped almonds
3/4 cups semi-sweet morsels or mint flavored morsels
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
In bowl, combine flour and salt; set aside. In bowl, combine butter and sugar; beat until creamy. Add egg and almond extract; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture; mix well. Divide dough in half; shape each into ball and flatten. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On lightly floured board or pastry cloth, roll dough to 3/16-inch thickness. Using sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut into 2 x 1-inch rectangles. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Brush tops with egg white; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon almonds. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes (cookies will look pale). Allow to stand 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets. Cool. Melt over hot (not boiling) water semi-sweet morsels or mint flavored morsels; stir until smooth. Spread 1/2 slightly rounded teaspoonfuls melted morsels on flat side of cookies; top with second cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies. Chill. Yield: 4 dozen sandwich
cookies.
