Almond Cream Cheese Cookies

Can't remember the cookie cook book's name off the top of my head, but these are so tasty:

1 3 oz. package cream cheese, softened

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar 1 egg yolk

1 Tablespoon milk

1/8 teaspoon almond extract

2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour

1 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Beat cream cheese with butter and sugar until fluffy. Blend in egg yolk, milk, and almond extract. Gradually stir in almonds. Gently stir in almonds. (Dough will be sticky). Divide dough in half; place each half on large sheet of waxed paper. Working through waxed paper, shape each half into 12 x 1 1/2 inch roll. Chill until very firm.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cut rolls into 1/4 inch slices. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets 10-15 minutes or until edges are golden. (Cookies will not brown). Cool on wire racks.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
