Directions:1.Grease and flour cookie sheets; set aside. Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 egg yolks. 2.Gradually add 1-1/2 cups flour; beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in additional flour with spoon to form stiff dough. Form dough into 2 discs; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. 3.Preheat oven to 375°F. Unwrap 1 disc and place on lightly floured surface. Roll out dough with lightly floured rolling pin to 3/16-inch thickness. Cut dough with floured 2-1/4-inch round cookie cutter. Place cutouts 1-1/2 to 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Gently knead dough trimmings together; reroll and cut out more cookies. 4.Unwrap remaining dough disc and place on lightly floured surface. Roll out dough with lightly floured rolling pin to 3/16-inch thickness. Cut dough with floured 2-1/4-inch scalloped cookie cutter. Cut 1-inch centers out of scalloped cookies. Place cutouts 1-1/2 to 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Cut equal numbers of round and scalloped cookies. 5.Beat egg white in small cup with wire whisk. Combine almonds and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in small bowl. Brush each scalloped cookie with egg white; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake all cookies 8 to 10 minutes or until firm and light golden brown. Remove cookies to wire racks; cool completely. 6.To assemble sandwich cookie, spread about 1/2 teaspoon currant jelly over flat side of each round cookie; top with flat side of scalloped cookie.
