Sand Dollar Cookies

Longhorn Council

Ingredients –

DOUGH:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp almond extract

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

TOPPING

1 large egg white

1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions –

1.       Put the butter and sugar in a mixer bowl.

2.       have an adult use an electric mixer and beat them on medium speed until the sugar and butter blend together into a soft ball.

3.       Break the egg into the batter.

4.       Add the almond extract and salt. Mix until blended.

5.       With the mixer on medium speed, add the flour a little at a time. When all the flour has been blended, the dough should look crumbly.

6.       Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Knead the dough until it is smooth and shiny, 3 to 5 minutes. (Kids like kneading the dough.)

7.       Shape the dough into a thick log and wrap it in a piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

8.       After the dough is chilled, place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350.

9.       Unwrap the dough on a cutting board.

10.    Using a knife, carefully cut the log into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

11.    Put the slices about 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.

12.    Put the egg white into a bowl. Beat the egg white with the electric mixer until it’s very foamy and white. Use your finger to rub egg white over the top of each cookie.  (Wash your hands before and  afterward.)

13.    Sprinkle the tops with the almonds.

14.    Bake until the cookies are golden, about 10 minutes.

15.    Cool on a cooling rack. Makes 36 cookies.

I am not sure why these are called sand Dollar Cookies – I don’t see five marks being made in the cookies.  Maybe someone from Longhorn Council can drop me a line.  CD
