Ingredients

Makes about 20 coookies

Almond paste(roasted almonds -in this case store bought- crushed in a mixer) 1/2 cup

Roasted almond pieces 1/2 cup

All purpose flour 1 cup

Sugar 1 cup

Butter 1 stick

Baking powder 1 teaspoon

Pinch of salt

Preparation

Mix almond paste, sugar and butter well. Add to it, the almond pieces. Sift flour over this mixture and keep beating with an electric beater. Add 1 egg slowly as well until the mixture gets the consistency of a dough without kneading. Keep the dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, take out the dough and make 20 small dough balls and place them 2 inches apart on a buttered cookie sheet. Bake at 375'F for 15 minutes or until golden brown!

You can see I didn't place my dough balls 2 inches apart making for 1 huge cookie made from all cookies fusing with eachother.
