Almond Cookies

I had a bunch of teens coming back to my house over the weekend and needed some kinda snack for them. I was out of vanilla and down to one egg. I came up with these. They are pretty tasty. My son LOVES almond and really enjoyed them. He doesn't seem to really eat many baked goods, but took one of these every time it was offered!

Almond Cookies (printable recipe)
1/2 C butter, softened
1/4 C white sugar
1/4 C brown sugar
