Recipe - Broomstick Cookies

One half cup Butter
One half cup Sugar
Three fourths cup Almonds; Blanched, finely
ground
1 tablespoon Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon AllPurpose Flour
1 ds Salt

Combine butter and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over low heat till butter
melts, stirring constantly. Stir in almonds, whipping cream, flour and
salt. Drop by teaspoonfuls 5 inches apart onto a foillined cookie sheet;
do only 4 cookies at a time.

Bake in a 350*F oven for 4 to 5 minutes or till the cookies are bubbly, and
a light golden brown.

Remove from oven. Let cookies stand on the cookie sheet for 1 or 2 minutes,
or just till the edges are firm enough to lift with a spatula. Quickly
remove one cookie at a time and roll it around the handle of a wooden
spoon, working with the bowl of the spoon extending over the edge of the
countertop. Slide cookie off spoon handle and cool on a wire rack. Use new
foil lining for each batch of cookies.
