Italian Wedding Cookies

Ingredients:

 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
 3/4 teaspoon salt
 1 1/2 cups finely ground almonds
 4 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used 3 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of almond)
 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for rolling

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cream butter or margarine in a bowl, gradually add confectioners' sugar and salt. Beat until light and fluffy. Add almonds and vanilla. Blend in flour gradually and mix well.
  • Shape into balls (or crescents) using about 1 teaspoon for each cookie. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, and bake for 15-20 min. Do not brown. 
  • Cool slightly, then roll in the extra confectioners' sugar.
