Beat butter with the 1/3 cup sugar and almond extract until light and
fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix well with hands. On a lightly floured
surface, shape the dough into a roll 6 inches long. Cut the roll lengthwise
into 6 equal parts. Shape each of the 6 parts into a role 12 inches long
and 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut each of these rolls into 6 (2 inch long)
pieces. Place them on a greased cookie sheet, 1 inch apart. Mix the 1/4 t
of sugar with the chopped almonds. Brush logs lightly with the egg and
sprinkle with mixture of almonds and sugar. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until
