Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F.
In a medium-size bowl, combine margarine and fructose, beating until light and fluffy.
Mix in egg white and almond extract.
Gradually stir in flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar; mix well.
Form into ½-inch (1½ cm) balls. Place on a nonstick cookie sheet. Dip a flat-bottomed glass into flour and press down on each ball to flatten the cookie.
Top each cookie with an almond slice. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
Transfer to parchment or wax paper to cool.
Makes about 32 cookies, 2 cookies per serving.
