1 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. almond extract
2 egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. all purpose flour

Cream butter, egg yolks and sugar thoroughly until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and almond extract. Stir in flour. Dough should be soft but not sticky. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Press dough (about 1 tablespoon) into tin molds or roll out and cut with a cookie cutter. Bake about 10 minutes. Watch carefully and they burn quickly. Cool cookies a few minutes then carefully remove from tins to a cooling rack. Makes 3 dozen.
