Almond Roca
More like a candy than a cookie, and great at Christmas.
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup blanched almonds
Mix all in electric frypan. (I don't see why it has to be electric ;-)
Turn temperature to 400°.
Cook and stir for 8 to 10 minutes, until brown.
Pour onto cookie sheet lined with foil.
Cool.
