Recipe - Butter Cookies (Mf)

9 tablespoon Butter, at room temperature
1 Egg, separated
6 tablespoon Superfine sugar
1 pn Salt
1 cup Allpurpose flour
One half cup Sliced almonds, not slivered

Combine 8 tablespoons of the butter, egg yolk, sugar, pinch of salt and
flour. When ingredients are completely blended, divide the dough in half.
Roll each dough half into a cylinder, about 1 One half inches in diameter and 6
inches long. Wrap each cylinder in waxed paper and then in foil.
Refrigerate until hard or for at least 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets with remaining
tablespoon of butter. Remove dough from refrigerator and slice each
cylinder crosswise into 1/4inch rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared
cookie sheets, but don't crowd them as they spread during baking. Brush the
tops with reserved egg white. Center some cut or sliced up almonds on each cookie and
bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Cool on a
cookie rack. Delicious served with strawberries simply macerated in sugar.
