- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water

4. Cook and stir over medium heat till margarine or butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
5. Stir in almonds, flour, and water.
6. Drop by rounded teaspoons about 5 inches apart onto cookie sheet. Bake only 3 or 4 at a time.
7. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand on cookie sheet about 2 minutes.
8. Immediately remove cookies, one at a time, and roll around a metal cone. Slip cookie off cone. Cool on wire racks.
