Provided by Nancy Allen

Categories     Cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 c butter or margarine
3 eggs
1/4 lb almonds, chopped
1 tsp cinnamon
4 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp hot water, dissolve baking soda in water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients together in order listed. Shape into 2 or 3 logs and wrap in wax paper. Chill in refrigerator 2 hours. Slice 1/4" and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350, until lightly browned about 10 minutes. Should get 3 to 4 dozen depending how thin or thick you like them.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies come together more easily and bake more evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Almond refrigerator cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
