Servings: 4 Cookies

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 2 sticks Unsalted Butter (16tbsp/ 1 cup)
  • ½ cup Confectioners Sugar
  • tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • cups all purpose flour

For the Coating:

  • 1 cups Confectioners Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract and salt.
  • Beat in the almond flour and the all purpose flour.
  • Scoop about a teaspoon of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 1" between them.
  • Bake the cookies for 15~20 minutes or until they feel set on top. They should be lightly browned.
  • Put confectioners sugar in a shallow bowl.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan for a few minutes. Transfer 4~5 cookies at a time and roll them in the sugar to coat. Transfer them to a rack to cool.
  • When the cookies are cool, roll them again in the sugar - they should be generously coated and snowy white.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.
