Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar plus more for dusting
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups finely ground almonds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with powdered sugar and salt for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the finely ground almonds, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until smooth.
  • Gradually mix in the sifted all-purpose flour until the dough comes together.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the cookies are just lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. While still slightly warm, roll each cookie in extra powdered sugar to coat evenly.
