How To Make Almond Cookies

1/2 cupful of almonds

1 1/2 cupfuls of sugar

1 cupful of thick sour milk

1/4 cupful of butter

2 eggs

1 level teaspoonful of soda

1 teaspoonful of almond extract

Blanch, dry and chop the almonds. Beat the eggs, sugar and butter until very light, and add the almonds. Dissolve the soda in two tablespoonfuls of water, add it to the sour milk, and then to the other ingredients add the almond extract and flour, about three and a half cupfuls, to make a soft dough. Roll about an inch thick, cut in round cakes, and bake in a moderate oven ten minutes.

Serve with chocolate at afternoon teas, or with desserts at luncheons.
