A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.


3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
red food coloring (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift flour, sugar, soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir in shortening and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Combine eggs and almond extract; stir into flour mixture, mix well.
Shape into balls using a tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet and make a depression in the middle of each cookie. If you don't wish to use red dye you may garnish with a piece of blanched almond.
Use a chopstick to place a drop of red food coloring in the middle of each cookie. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

Easy to make. I used a blender to mix everything together at once. They were light even without sifting ingredients (I think most flours are presifted).
