Scented with lemon and almond extract and laced with sliced almonds, these tasty cookies require a two-step baking method. First the dough is formed into a log and baked until firm. Once cooled slightly, the log is thinly sliced and the cookies are baked again until golden brown and crisp. Whole-wheat pastry flour has a finer texture than regular whole wheat, and adds more flavour and nutrition than all-purpose. Serve these crunchy treats with a cup of coffee.
