List of Ingredients

16 - Crisp Sand Stars

1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Unblanched whole almonds
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
Additional sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg yolks, milk and extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refigerate dough for 1 hour or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 3-inch star cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press an almond in the center of each. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Yield: about 5 dozen.
