Dairy and Gluten Free Almond Cookies

My son loves these crumbly cookies. I have adapted this recipe from cooks.com

Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten free flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/2 lb lard
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• whole almonds

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Beat the egg and lard in a food processor with the knife blade, then add sugar and extract. Gradually mix in dry ingredients. Place small balls of dough in a lined cookie sheet and press an almond in the centre of the ball. Leave some space between them to expand. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
