. . .if I do say so

Made up this recipe today,

I was in the mood for something

almond-flavored.

Give it a try.

Frosted Almond Cookies

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 c. margarine

1/2 c. shortening

3 eggs

1 t. almond extract

3 1/3 c. flour

1 1/2 t. soda

1 (6-serving) pkg. vanilla instant pudding mix

Combine in that order, bake at 375 for 8-9 minutes. Glaze with the following:

1/2 c. margarine and 1/4 c. milk, bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Add 3 1/2 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 t. almond extract, and 1/2 c. toasted slivered almonds.

Drizzle over cookies while still warm. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
