Almond Spice Cookies
4 cups All-purpose flour
3 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking soda
1 cup Butter
2 tsp Instant coffee powder
1/2 tsp Almond extract
1 cup Granulated sugar
1 cup Dark brown sugar, *
3 large or jumbo eggs, (extra)
10 oz Slivered blanched almonds**
* firmly packed ** (2 1/2 - 3 cups)
These cookies go well with after dinner coffee or tea.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt and baking soda
and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add the coffee, almond extract,
granulated and brown sugars and beat well. Add the eggs one at a time
until smooth after each addition. On low speed gradually add the sifted
dry ingredients, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula and beating only
until the mixture is smooth. Gently mix in the almonds.
Spread out two pieces of wax paper. place large spoonfuls of the dough
lengthwise on each piece of paper to form heavy strips about 10-11 inches
long. Fold the long sides of the paper p against the dough and, pressing
against the paper with your hands, shape each strip of dough into a smooth
oblong 12 inches long, 3 inches wide, and about 1 inch thick. Wrap the
dough in the wax paper.
Slide a cookie sheet under both packages of dough and transfer them to the
freezer or refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This slices best
when dough is frozen solid.
Preheat oven to 375ø. Unwrap one roll of dough at a time. Place dough on
a cutting board. With a very sharp knife cut the dough into 1/4-inch
slices and place them 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie
sheet.
Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes at 375ø. The cookies are done
when they are slightly colored and spring back when lightly pressed with a
fingertip.
