Day 5:  Cookies I made are Jan Hagels.  It's a classic recipe which only varies a little from one source to another.  Here's the recipe:

1 c butter
1 c sugar
1 egg, separated
1 tsp almond extract
2 c sifted flour
1/2 c sliced almonds
Cinnamon sugar (1 Tbls sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon)

Beat butter and sugar.  Add egg yolk (set white aside).  Beat until fluffy.  Blend in almond extract.  Stir in flour.  Spread batter evenly around 15" x 10" x 1" pan.

Beat egg white until foamy.  Spread foam evenly over dough.  Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly across top.  Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over nuts.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes.  Cut into squares.  Makes about 3 dozen.

Off to play with more final project tools.  LIS 629 is like Mark's Leatherman - a curation of tools! :)
