When I have time—usually in the winter—I love to bake. I make these tea cakes every Christmas, double the recipe and freeze half for later. —Janet Fennema Ringelberg, Troy, Ontario

Ingredients

2 cups butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 teaspoons almond extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
FILLING:
1 large egg white
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup ground almonds
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Milk
Sliced almonds

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and extract; mix well. Add flour and baking powder (dough will be soft). Chill.
For filling, in a small bowl, stir egg white, sugar, almonds and lemon juice. Remove a portion of the dough at a time from the refrigerator. Place 1-in. balls of dough into miniature muffin cups, pressing slightly into sides and bottom. Place 1/2 teaspoon filling into each. Cover with quarter-sized circles of dough.
Brush with a little milk and top with an almond. Bake at 350° until golden, 14-16 minutes.
