Presidential Cookies

I call these great tasting cookies presidential
because they are just so good tasting that they
could be served at a special White House dinner.
A shortbread cookie with a surprise kick inside.

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, white only
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup vegetable shortening
1 cup confectioners sugar

Directions:
In a mixing bowl cream together
butter and shortening for two minutes.
Add egg white and continue to mix.
Then add almond extract and cayenne pepper.
Mix in flour just until combined.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
One hour is long enough.

Bake about 12 minutes until done.
