Almond Slices

3/4 c Sugar; (3/4 to 1)

2 c All-purpose flour

1 c Brown sugar, packed

2 Eggs; beaten

2 ts Baking powder

2 ts Almond extract

3 c Almonds; chopped

1/3 c Oil

2 ts Water

1 ts Cinnamon; optional

Mix all together, shape into flattened logs, brush top with beaten eggs (not those included in recipe). Bake 350 degrees for 19 - 25 min. (watch carefully). Cut while warm. Jo`s Note: I think this is a little too much almond extract. I would try about 3/4 teaspoon. -----
