Ingredients

The following ingredients have 25 Servings
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (can use Earth Balance for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar + more for rolling cookies
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 cup finely chopped or ground almonds or pecans

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract.
  • Blend in flour, salt and nuts until dough holds together.
  • Shape into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on baking sheets that are lined with parchment paper. If dough is super sticky, you can refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make it easier to work with.

  • Cool completely; roll again in powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!
