4 c  Unsifted flour
1 ts Almond flavoring

Cream the sugar and margarine. Add the almond paste and work in either by
hand or on the low speed of an electric mixer. Knead in the flour, add the
flour a little at a time, first with the beater, then by hand. Form the
dough into 3 or 4 balls, wrap in waxed paper and chill overnight in the
refrigerator. Slice 1/4 inch thick. Rolls can be frozen, and thawed. Bake
cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet in preheated oven to 350 degrees for
10-12 minutes. Watch carefully because they burn easily. Cookies should be
crisp and dry, and only a little brown at the edges. Cool cookies and place
in pie plate with a little sugar; shake to cover the bottoms of cookies.
