Ingredients

• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract 
• 0.5 cup butter softened
• 1  egg yolk 
• 1.8 cups flour all-purpose
• 3 tablespoons water 
• 0.5 cup sugar white

Equipment

• bowl
• oven
• wire rack

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and sugar.
2. Cut in butter until a mealy consistency is reached.
3. Add water, almond extract, and egg yolk; mix by hand and knead into a smooth ball. Wrap and refrigerate dough for up to 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Roll pieces of dough into 1 inch balls and press down into the cookie molds or small tart molds. Press so dough is all of the way up the side of the molds, then prick with a fork to keep them from puffing up and deforming during baking.
6. Bake cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Cool cookies in molds on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully removing to cool completely.
