Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn oil
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons vanilla ( I use Anise and also add Anise seeds)
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup toasted slivered almonds
vegetable oil spray
Instructions:
Beat sugar and oil. Add eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Gradually add flour. Stir in flavorings then almonds. Spray (12x18x1/2 inch) pan with non stick spray. Spoon batter into pan (batter will be sticky so be patient). Dipping spatula in ice water helps. Bake in 350°F oven for 20 minutes or until light brown all over. Cool for 7 minutes and turn out of pan onto cutting board. Slice lengthwise down the middle, then cut across into 1/2 to 3/4 inch strips. Return cookies to sheet pan return to oven and toast on all sides until golden brown. About 8 Minutes per side. Makes 5 Dozen.
