Recipe - Frankfurter Brenten

1 Three fourths cup Powdered sugar
1 cup Almond paste
11 tablespoon Allpurpose flour, divided
3 teaspoon Rose water or water
1 Egg white

Combine powdered sugar, almond paste, 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour,
rose water, and the egg white in a large bowl. Knead gently until dry
ingredients are moistened.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth
(about 6 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 2 teaspoons at a time, to
prevent dough from sticking to hands. Roll dough to 1/8inch thickness on a
lightly floured surface. Using a petite cookie mold with 11/4inchsquare
imprints, press mold firmly into dough to imprint.

Remove the mold; cut the cookie squares apart, and place on baking sheets
covered with parchment paper or unglazed brown paper (do not use recycled
paper). Cover with a towel, and let stand at room temperature in a cool,
dry place for 24 hours to dry.

Bake cookies at 275 degrees for 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks. Yield:
7One half dozen (serving size: 1 cookie).
