These cookies, a twist on traditional snowballs, are just the thing to enjoy with a spot of tea. Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature |
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar, divided |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup all purpose flour |
3/4 cup finely chopped toasted almonds |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat butter, 1/3 cup sugar, both extracts, spices, and salt in medium bowl. Beat in flour, then stir in almonds.
2. Using hands, roll dough into tablespoon-size balls. Place on large baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Cool on sheet 5 minutes. Place remaining sugar in large bowl. Working in batches, gently coat hot cookies in sugar. Cool cookies on rack. Roll again in sugar and serve.
