Categories: Cookies, Desserts
Yield: 2 dozen

1 1/2 c Butter, at room temp
3/4 lb Powdered sugar
1 Egg yolk
1 ts Vanilla
1/2 c Finely chopped almonds
3 1/4 c All-purpose flour

Beat butter until light and fluffy, then beat in 2 tablespoons of the
sugar, egg yolk, vanilla and almonds. Gradually add flour, beating to
blend thoroughly. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of large
walnuts and rolls between your palms into round balls. Place 1 1/2
inches apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten each ball slightly.

Bake in a 275F oven until very lightly browned (about 45 minutes).
Let cool on baking sheets until lukewarm.

Sift half the remaining powdered sugar onto a large sheet of wax
paper. Roll each cookie gently in sugar. With your fingers, pack
more sugar all over cookies to a depth of about 1/8 inch. Place
cookies on wire racks and dust generously with more powdered sugar;
let cool completely. Store in airtight containers, layer between
sheets of wax paper. Makes 3 dozen.
