I made these a couple weeks ago...I can't really remember why anymore, but it was after my final final exam of my undergrad college education. I brought them to my boyfriend--I think he was studying for an exam--and left a couple for my roommates. I think they were pretty good, definitely an almond taste (I think I added a little more than the 1 teaspoon though) and they came together quickly and easily.
Almond Cookies
Recipe From allrecipes.com
1 stick butter
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Beat together the butter and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix into the butter mixture until just incorporated.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Spread the 1/4 cup confectioners sugar on a plate; roll the cooled cookies in the confectioners' sugar to coat.
