1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. sugar
2 c. flour
1 tsp. almond extract

Mix above ingredients. Chill dough. Roll about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips about 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches. After cookie sheet is filled, brush cookies with beaten egg whites and sprinkle with mixture of finely chopped nuts and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. This is my family's favorite cookie.
