Keebler Almond Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar 1 egg, beaten 1/4 teaspoon Butter Buds (powdered butter flavoring) 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons almond extract 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds Directions: Measure flour, cream of tarter and baking soda; set aside. Beat butter and both sugars together until fluffy. Add beaten egg, vanilla, almond extract, butter buds and salt. Beat all ingredients until well blended. Add flour, cream of tarter and baking soda mixture about a third at a time and beat until smooth. Dough will come away from the mixing bowl and will look a little dry. When cookie dough is well blended, stir in almonds by hand. Chill dough for 30 - 45 minutes. Roll cookie dough into 1 to 1 1/4" balls; place on a ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten cookies until they are about 1/4" thick. Bake in preheated 350F oven for about 12 -15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove cookies from cookie sheet and place on rack to cool.
