• 1/2 c powdered sugar
• 1 c butter
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 c all purpose flour
• 1 c finely ground almonds (or pecans)
• 1/4 tsp salt

1. These are light and quite sweet. Make them mouth-size bites as they can get crumbly.
2. 1/2 c powdered sugar
3. 1 c butter
4. 2 tsp vanilla
5. 2 c all purpose flour
6. 1 c finely ground almonds (or pecans)
7. 1/4 tsp salt
8. Oven at 325
9. 1. Cream butter & sugar with vanilla until light & fluffy
10. 2. Add flour, almonds and salt. Mix until dough holds together.
11. 3. Shape into 1” balls & place on cookie sheet
12. 4. Bake 15-20 min
13. 5. Cool slightly, about 5 min. Roll in extra powdered sugar
14. 6. Cool completely. Roll in more powdered sugar.
15. Yields about 5 dozen balls
16. Variations I've done:
17. - Substitute almond extract for vanilla
18. - Use a mix of cocoa and powdered sugar on outside when using pecans inside
19. - Use rum extract when using pecans

These are light and quite sweet. Make them mouth-size bites as they can get crumbly.
