Cream the lard with sugar until fluffy.
Blend in the almond extract.
Thoroughly mix in the flour, one cup at a time.
The last addition makes the mixture crumbly.
To shape each cookie, measure 1 level teaspoon of dough and press with your hands to form a flat, round cake about 1 3/4-inches in diameter.
Place cookies on greased baking sheet, slightly apart (they do not spread).
Gently press an almond in center of each cookie.
Combine egg yolk with water and brush the mixture over the cookies.
Bake in slow oven at 275° for 30 minutes, then at 350° for 10 minutes.
Makes 3 dozen.
