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.
