Lightly butter a 10"x 15" baking tray and set it aside. -Cream together butter and granulated sugar. Divide the egg and add the egg yolk, cinnamon, salt and almond extract. Beat to fully combine, scraping the bowl at least once. Add the flour and mix only until the dough starts to come together. -Press or roll dough evenly into the prepared pan. Whisk the egg white with 1 tbsp water. Brush evenly onto the dough, using the whole egg white. Sprinkle evenly with almonds and press lightly into the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, enough to create a nice sparkle. -Bake for 20-22 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and score/cut into squares or diamonds about 2" long while the cookie is warm and soft. Once cut allow to cool completely before removing from the pan. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Recipe Notes: -coarse sugar is a larger crystal sugar that doesn't melt when baked so it keeps a sparkle on the goods it's sprinkled on. It may also be called pearl sugar, decorator sugar, or sparkling sugar. -I get about 45 - 2" diamond-shaped cookies, plus the best and crispiest half diamonds around the edges. -I've tried sliced almonds with and without the skin and both are good to use and is a matter of preference. -I find it just as easy to cut the squares instead of just scoring them while they are warm, but if you're having difficulty just score them and cut when cool. -cookies are best if eaten while fresh, however, they will last in a sealed container at room temperature for several days. If freezing, allow to cool completely and store in an airtight container away from strong odours.
