List of Ingredients




8 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

8 eggs, beaten

5 cups superfine sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Salt

8 oz blanched almonds, finely chopped



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heap the flour in a mound on a pastry board. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, sugar, baking soda and a pinch of salt. Knead briefly. Add the almonds and knead again to mix thoroughly.


Roll the dough into lengths about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (2 in long). Flatten slightly. Arrange the cookies on a buttered and floured baking sheet.


Bake in the oven for 7 to 8 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven, cut into diagonal slices about 3/8 inch thick. Return to the oven to finish cooking until perfectly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
