Shortbread Wedges
Ingredients
1 C. all purpose flour
3-1/2 tsp. Equal Measure, or 12 packets Equal sweetener
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
8 Tbsp. cold margarine, cut into pieces
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
12 almonds, whole, unblanched, or 12 pecan halves, whole
Cooking Instructions
Combine flour, Equal Measure, cornstarch, and salt in medium bowl. Cut in margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle vanilla and almond extracts over mixture and stir in. Mix with hands briefly until dough begins to hold together. Pat dough evenly in bottom of greased 8-inch round cake pan. Lightly cut dough into 12 wedges with sharp knife, cutting about halfway through dough. Pierce each wedge 2 to 3 times with tines of fork; press almond into each wedge. Bake preheated at 325 degrees F. until shortbread is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Cut into wedges while warm.
