Recipe 21:
Lenten Cookies


Here's a little treat that my mother has been making since before I was born. They are great to eat fresh out of the oven but are also great to store in frozen form and steal when no one is looking.

1/2 cup margarine
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup cold water
2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 almonds (blanched/sliced)

Mix margarine and sugar. Add cold water

Mix dry ingredients: (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon). Add to sugar mix.

Add almonds, mixing well. Roll into log and wrap with wax paper.

Chill 2 hrs. Slice into 1/4 inch slices and cook in 400F oven until light brown (8-10 min).
