salt and 1/4 cup sugar. With mixer at medium speed, beat ingredients
until well mixed, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula.

With hands, shape into ball. If dough is too soft to roll out, cover
and refrigerate until firm.

Preheat oven to 325ø.

On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough
into 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Using pastry wheel or knife, cut into
strips 3 x 1-inch. Place strips on greased cookie sheets and brush

In a small bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon and
almonds; sprinkle on cookies. Bake 15 minutes at 325ø or until
golden. With pancake turner, remove cookies to wire racks and allow
to cool.
