My husband's Aunt Laurel always made these cake-like cookies with her own farm-fresh eggs, cream and butter. Now I prepare batches for Christmas each year. We like them because they're not overly sweet. —D. Elaine Rutschke, Spruce View, Alberta

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon almond extract
