1 tsp almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and line baking sheets.
Beat the butter and sugar until creamy, then mix in one teaspoon of almond extract.
Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and sliced almonds to form a dough.
Shape the dough into small balls on the baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden.
