| 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and mix the first four ingredients - the flour, baking powder, salt and chopped slivered almonds - in a medium-sized bowl. | 2. With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy; add the egg and almond extract and beat until the ingredients are all well-combined. | 3. Reduce the electric mixer speed to low and blend in the flour mixture. | 4. Roll the dough into 11/4-inch balls, and place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten the balls slightly and press an almond into the centre of each cookie. | 5. Whisk the egg yolk and water together in a cup and lightly brush over the cookies. | 6. Bake the cookies for 11-15 minutes, until just set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. | 7. Notes: If you prefer, in step four, use several slivered almonds instead of the blanched whole almonds. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
