Chinese Almond Cookie

Though very simple to make, these cookies are perfect for the holiday season because they're easy to make with children. Each cookie gets a little almond "decoration" (try it with marcona almonds, if you can find them) and a light egg wash before being popped into the oven. As they're only slightly sweet, they make the perfect companion to a cup of coffee, tea, or holiday spirit.
