* 1 cup of powdered sugar
* ¼ teaspoonful of almond extract
* 2 eggs

==Directions==
# To prepare this almond crisps recipe 1, first cream the butter and gradually beat in the sugar.
# Reserve the white of one egg to glaze the cakes.
# Beat the yolk of this egg and the other whole egg; add to the creamed ingredients with the milk, flour and flavoring.
# More flour may be needed.
# The dough must be stiff enough to hold its shape when baked.
# Take a little of the dough onto a floured board, turn it in the flour with a knife, then knead slightly and with the rolling pin roll into a thin sheet.
# With a french patty cutter stamp the dough into rounds and stamp each round with the same cutter again, to divide each into a crescent and an oval shaped cake.
# Set these on buttered baking pans.
# Press upon each three halves of almonds, then brush over with the white of egg, reserved for the purpose, and sprinkle the whole with granulated sugar.
# Bake in a quick oven to a pale straw color.
