Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup ground almonds (toasted if you want to - here are some tips)
3/4 cup powdered sugar (extra, for coating the cookies)
Directions
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup unsalted butter and 4 Tbsp powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
Add 1/2 tsp almond extract and beat well.
Add 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, and then 3/4 cup ground almonds.
Mix just until smooth.
Gather into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to make balls of dough.
It might take longer.
Preheat oven to 350Β°F (180Β°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll portions of cold dough between your palms to form balls.
Place 1-inch apart on lined baking tray.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until they are a bit golden and cracked.
Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
While still warm, roll in 3/4 cup powdered sugar and coat completely.
Let cool down completely on a wire rack.
These cookies freeze well unbaked.
When you need them, just line them up on a parchment-lined or greased baking tray, thaw, and bake.

π¬ Uncle Dave says...
Give a few a trial bake to see how they turn out.
**Toasting the nuts:** lightly toasting the almonds adds a lot to the flavor of the cookie. Here is a link on tips for toasting nuts.
