Yield: 36 servings

1 1/4 lb Almonds; ground fine

CREAM BUTTER AND SUGAR together until very soft. Then carefully blend
in the ground almonds, salt, vanilla and flour. The dough will be
rather firm. Cut off pieces about the size of prunes and roll them
into little cigar-shaped pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Roll these in
the chopped pine nuts and bend them into a half-moon shape. Place
these 1-inch apart on greased baking pans. Bake at 350F for 15-to-20
