My family and friends have enjoyed these melt-in-your mouth cookies since I first began making them years ago. I love to bake and try to keep the cookie jar filled. For the holidays, the dusting of nutmeg is a tasty touch. -Judy Burdette Kettering, Ohio Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup ground almonds (about 3 ounces), toasted |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in almonds. Shape into 1-in. balls.
