Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1 cup almonds (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened (2 sticks))
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place chopped almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 3 to 5 minutes in preheated oven. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Once the nuts are cooled, beat together the butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add flour to butter mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined after each addition. Stir in the toasted almonds by hand.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion cookie dough and then roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place cookies on a silicone mat lined baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the bottom edges of the cookies just begin to brown.
  • Remove cookies from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Roll warm cookies in the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
