2/3 cup margarine
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder of your choice
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped almonds
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the eggs until well blended. Mix corn syrup, oil, brown sugar, flour, and baking powder while stirring constantly. Mix together by hand so that the mixture is well mixed. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the hot margarine mixture. Mix in the flour gradually and mix in the baking soda and almond extract until just blended. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Watch carefully so that cookies do not burn.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting.
