Source: Sandra Lee
Ingredients: Makes 16 (5 inch) cookies
2 (17.5 ounce) packages sugar cookie mix, Betty Crocker
4 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 teaspoons whole milk
1 (2 ounce) package slivered almonds

Procedures:

• Preheat oven to 350 degree.
• In a large bowl, stir together cookie mixes, flour, eggs, butter, almond extract, and milk until a stiff dough forms.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ¼ inch thickness. Using a 5 inch cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Place on unreleased baking sheets. Gently press 5 almonds into each dough round in a spoke pattern to resemble a sand dollar.
• Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown. Let cool on pans for 1 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely (about 1 hour). End.
