Almond Torte

Tastes like almond shortbread.  Probably the easiest cookie you can make.

2 eggs, beaten

½ cup butter, melted

1 t. almond extract

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

Slivered almonds 

Preheat oven to 350°.   With a fork, mix eggs, melted butter and almond extract.  Add sugar and flour and hand mix with a fork as little as possible.  Place in pie tin or 8-inch springform or round cake pan.  Cover generously with slivered almonds.  Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.  Cool and cut into wedges.  Makes about 16. 

I found that this needs to be watched so that it is completely cooked through.  The first one I made was very uncooked in the middle.
