Double Almond Cookies

This recipe from my friend Tiffany Denison.
She made it at a ward function where I first tasted them, and I just had to have the recipe!
They're different from the normal cookie, but a tasty treat all the same.

2 cups flour (I usually end up using a little more--just until the dough isn't sticky)
1/2 cup finely chopped or slivered almonds
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. pure almond extract

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix flour, almonds, salt; set aside.  Beat butter and sugar until creamy.  Blend in egg and extract; gradually mix in flour mixture.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Gently press a few slivered almonds on top if desired, it makes it look pretty when baked.  Bake 10 minutes.  Yield 2 dozen.
