By request! Another good sugar free Cookie recipe.

1/2 C butter
1/2 C shorting
1 egg
1/4 tsp Splenda or Stevia
2 1/2 tsp almond extract
2 C flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 lb of blanched almonds
1 lightly beaten egg


Cream butter, shorting, egg, sugar substitute, and almond flavoring together. Combine flour, soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to flour mixture. Divide dough into two equal parts. Roll out in log shape until desired circumference. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2-4 hours. Slice off in 1/2 inch circles, and place on cookie sheet. Place an almond on top of each cookie.  Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 325^ for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
