1 dash vanilla extract
1 cup whole, raw almonds

4. Prepare the baking sheet with nonstick spary or silicone sheet. Place 2 teaspoons of the dough side-byside on the sheet ad spead into thin, elongated form, about 4" ( if you whant to have the shape of the photo i have huce a pastry bag with a star pastry tip )
5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be golden brown at the edges and pale golden in the center. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before removing them.
