It just so happens that my husband gave me a cookie stamp for my bithday Friday and it came with some recipes, so here you go.

Almond Cookies

1/2 c. butter ( softened)
2 oz. almond paste
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg ( med. or large)
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. flour

throughly cream almond paste into softened butter by hand, or with a mixer at slowest speed. Cream in sugar. Stir in egg and almond extract. Mix the salt into the flour, then stir it into the almond butter mixture. Knead for just a moment with lightly floured hands. Form and bake the cookies as directed in the stamping instructions. Which mine says to bake at 350 degrees in the top third of the oven until nicely browned - start checking after 10 minutes.

Sugar/ Chocolate Cookies

1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 TBS. milk or cream
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. flour ( scoop from bag)

Throughly cream butter and sugar by hand or with a mixer at slowest speed. Beat in egg, milk or cream, and vanilla. In a seperate bowl, mix flour and salt and add to butter mixture. Knead for a minute. Form and bake the cookies as directed in stamping instructions.

FOR CHOCOLATE COOKIES - add 1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa to the sugar
