    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 pounds butter, clarified and chilled
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 cup cognac or bourbon
    2 cups chopped almonds, toasted
    6 cups sifted all-purpose flour

    rosewater
    1 1/2 to 2 pounds powdered sugar

    Beat butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add 1/2
    cup sugar and beat well. Dissolve baking soda in lemon juice, add
    to butter mixture. Add vanilla, cognac and almonds. Gradually
    add the flour, knead until soft, about 15 minutes. Pinch off small
    amount of dough and shape as desired about 1/2-inch thick. Place
    on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350-degrees for 15 to 20-minutes
    or until very lightly browned. Remove from oven, sprinkle with
    rosewater. While still warm, dip each cookie into a bowl filled
    with sifted powdered sugar. Press the sugar all around with fingers.
    Place on brown paper and sprinkle tops generously with additional
    sifted powdered sugar.

    Makes 30 large cookies or 50 small cookies.
