1 c butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
2 c flour
1/2 t cinnamon
1 egg white
1 t water
8 oz. sliced almonds
rock sugar
Preheat the oven to 325˚F. Beat butter sugar and egg yolk until fluffy, then stir in flour and cinnamon. Spread the dough across the bottom of a jelly roll pan. Beat egg white and water until frothy and spread over the top of the dough. Sprinkle almond slices and rock sugar on top of the egg whites. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, slice into small squares or diamonds while still hot, and let the cookies cool in the pan before removing.
