• Combine sugar and butter in large bowl.
• Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
• Add egg, corn syrup, water and vanilla; beat until well mixed.
• Reduce speed to low; add all remaining ingredients except almonds.
• Beat until well mixed.
• Divide dough into thirds.
• Shape each third into 1/2-inch thick squares.
• Wrap each square in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (1 to 2 hours).
• Heat oven to 375°F
• Roll out dough, one-third at a time, on lightly floured surface (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 12x10-inch rectangle.
• Cut into 2-inch squares using pastry cutter or sharp knife; cut squares diagonally in half to form triangles.

• Lightly press almonds into center of each cookie.
• Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned and cookies are set.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. On low speed, beat in flour, salt, cardamom and cinnamon. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Gently press bottom of drinking glass onto dough to grease, then press into granulated sugar and onto dough balls to flatten to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown and centers of cookies are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool 10 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and enough of the milk until glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over cookies; sprinkle with sugar crystals.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square or round baking dish with a little butter. Cream the 4 tablespoons butter, oil, and sugar together using an electric mixer or fork. Stir in the nuts, lemon juice, oats, flour, and salt until combined and crumbly. (You can make the topping ahead to this point; tightly wrap, and refrigerate for up to a day or freeze for up to several weeks; thaw before proceeding.)
• 2. Put the pears in the prepared dish, sprinkle with the cardamom, and toss. Crumble the topping over all. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is just starting to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately, or at least while still warm.
