List of Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup butter or stick margarine, softened

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 large egg white

Cooking spray

1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped



Recipe



Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Combine sugar, honey, butter, and oil in a bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add extracts and egg white to sugar mixture. Beat until well-blended. Stir in flour mixture (dough will be sticky).


Coat hands lightly with cooking spray; divide dough into 2 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 9-inch log. Wrap logs individually in plastic wrap; freeze 3 hours or until firm.


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut each log into twenty-four 1/4-inch-thick slices, and place 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Press almonds into cookies. Bake at 375 degrees F for 9 minutes. Cool 2 minutes or until firm. Remove cookies from pans; cool on wire racks.
