Cream butter. Beat in yolk, almond extract, and confectionary sugar. Add flour slowly and mix to combine thoroughly. I work dough with hands, almost kneading. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick, then cut out star patterns with cookie cutter. Place on parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
Beat egg white till stiff, gradually adding 1/2 cup sugar. Put a spoonful on top of each cookie and top with almonds. Bake at 325º for 30 minutes.
