   3      c             Flour
   3      ts            Baking powder
   4                    Eggs -- separated
   1      c             Sugar
   1      ts            Vanilla
     1/2  c             Butter -- melted
   1      c             Milk
     1/2  c             Blanched almonds
   2      c             Apricot marmalade

Sift flour with baking powder into a bowl; make well in middle of it.
In another bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar and vanilla, then pour
into flour. Add melted butter. Knead mixture into soft dough, slowly
adding the milk as you knead. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.

Separate dough into 4 parts and roll each out 1/4" thick; cut into
rounds, and place carefully on buttered cookie sheet. Beat egg whites
lightly, brush over cookies; press 1/2 an almond into center of each.
Bake in preheated 300°F oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven
and cool. Spoon some marmalade onto half the cookies and top them
with the others. Serve immediately.
