Confucious Almond Cookies

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, ground nuts,

1/4 cup sugar and brown sugar, then cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Form the mixture into a ball and knead until smooth.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness.

Cut into 1 1/2-inch circles.

Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Lightly sprinkle with the additional sugar, then lightly press a whole nut in the center of each cookie.

Bake in a 375° oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Remove and cool on wire rack.
