Slice and Bake Almond Crisps

I made these at Easter and they were a big hit!  Make sure you toast the almonds…it is worth it.

1 cup butter softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups toasted chopped unblanched almonds

In large bowl, eat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.  Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into butter mixture.  Stir in almonds.  Shape into four 4 inch long logs.  Wrap and freeze for 2 hours or until firm.

Cut into slices about 1/8 inch thick; bake on greased baking sheet in 375F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.  Remove to rack and cool.
