“‘With a roll of this cookie dough on hand, I can serve freshly-baked cookies in a snap,’ says field editor Elizabeth Montgomery of Taylorsville, Illinois.”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 3 eggs
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
* 2 (2.45 ounce) packages whole unblanched almonds

DIRECTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, cinnamon and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Fold in chopped almonds. Shape into two 15-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap.
2. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; top each with a whole almond. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
