1/3 c. shortening
3 tbsp. sugar
1 c. flour
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp. sweet cream
1 c. nuts, cut fine
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Cream shortening and sugar; add cream, then sifted flour and salt. Lastly add extract and nuts. Form into small flat balls the size of a dollar and place 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in slow oven (300-325 degrees) for 35 minutes, removing them just before they get brown. While still warm, roll in powdered sugar. These will keep for weeks.
