directions

  • Finely chop the almonds by hand. You'll end up with almond paste if you tried doing this with a food processor.
  • Combine the margarine and sugar in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the flour and hornsalt (or baking powder). Stir in the currants and 1/2 cup of the chopped almonds.
  • Wrap dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal sections.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each section into an 18" long snake.
  • Place the logs on a lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten each slightly with the heel of your hand, brush with egg white, and sprinkle with the remaining almonds.
  • Bake on center rack of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Once removed from the oven, cut into 3/4" diagonal cookies.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
