1/2 cup	Brown sugar, packed	125 mL
1/2 cup	Granulated sugar	125 mL
1 cup	butter, softened	250 mL
1	Egg	1
1 tsp	Vanilla	5 mL
2-1/3 cups	All-purpose flour	575 mL
1/2 tsp	Baking soda	2 mL
1/2 tsp	Salt	2 mL
1-1/4 cups	Toasted chopped unblanched almonds	300 mL

Preheat oven 375°F [190°C]. In large bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt, gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in almonds. Shape into four 4 inch long logs. Wrap and freeze for 2 hours or until firm. Cut into slices about 1/8 inch thick; bake on greased baking sheet for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Remove to rack and let cool. Note: For a fancier presentation, press a sliced almond into the center of each before baking.
