That looks like a fantastic recipe for a gluten intolerant person. Thanks so much. Will bake it for my friend, when she stays next. She is also sensitive to so many other things it is hard to keep track.

Makes 45 biscuits (Haven't tried any of these recipies)
Place plain flour, icing sugar, ground almonds and butter in the bowl of a food processor and process to combine. Add egg yolk and vanilla essence, and process until all ingredients just form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out one portion between two pieces of baking paper to about 8mm thick. Cut into desired shapes (such as starfish or stars) and place on an oven tray. Repeat with remaining dough portions. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until beginning to colour and cooked through. You may have to cook them in 2 separate batches. Cool on a wire rack and sprinkle with icing sugar.
Almond Biscuits (Aunt Daisy) 8oz butter 8oz sugar 1 egg 3/4lb flour 1tsp b/powder 1tsp almond essence Cream butter & sugar, add egg then dry ingredients etc. Roll into sm balls, dip tops in sugar & put an almond on top Bake moderate oven 15 - 20 mins. Leave room for spreading

Chinese Almond Cookies
3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (60 g) almonds) or Ground Almonds 1 cup sugar 1 large egg 12 ounces butter 1 ounce water 1 teaspoon almond extract whole almonds.
Use a blender to grind the 60 g almonds into a fine powder.
Whisk the flour, salt, baking soda and ground almond powder together.
Cream the butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and water.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and mixed briefly to combine.
Form the dough into balls, just bigger than a whole almond.
Pressed an almondonto the top of each ball.
Refrigerating the dough balls for thirty minutes results in better shaped cookies.
These cookies spread out while baking, so a decent amount of space (about two inches) is needed between the balls.
Lightly beat an egg. Using a pastry brush, brush egg onto each dough ball.
Bake for fifteen to twenty minutes at 175°C oven.
Cool them on a wire rack.
These also sound great!
