Almond Cookie Recipe

1 cup margarine (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. pure almond extract (is some almond extract not pure?)
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Cream margarine and sugar. Add extract and mix well.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Roll into balls. Press down with a fork dipped in water.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Yummy!
***Sara announced a diet when I told her about these good cookies.
I am hoping that the walking and gardening will take care of the cookies,
and get rid of the winter layer of blubber that we need to keep warm
around here in the winter.
