Start to finish: 1 hour
Impresses: 24 cookies

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1½ cups powdered sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
4½ cups almond flour
¼ teaspoon salt

Method

Heat oven to 350 F, and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract until well combined. With your mixer on low, add in almond flour and salt until fully combined. Use a cookie scoop to portion out cookie dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. 

Bake 15 minutes, or until cookies are set and bottoms are just starting to brown. Let rest on the cookie sheet for 3–5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Place remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar in a shallow dish, and roll warm cookies into the powdered sugar before resting on a baking rack. Let cookies cool completely before rolling again in powdered sugar. Store cookies in an airtight container.
