Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Roll dough out on lightly floured board to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut with a 2-inch round cookie cutter and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate with almond slices, pressing so they adhere.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
