Lemon Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies

Step 1

Cream together softened butter, sugar, and almond extract with a hand mixer. Gradually add in salt and flour, beating well until combined.

Step 2

Roll one-tablespoonfuls into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Make a small indent in each cookie with your fingertip.

Step 3

Fill each indent with 1/4 teaspoon lemon pie filling. Bake at 350 for 20 - 23 minutes or until just starting to brown on the edges.

Step 4

Cool completely before serving. Makes 1 1/2 dozen cookies.
