Almond Snow Cookies

List of Ingredients




1-1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/8 teaspoon LorAnn almond oil (available at Lorannoils.com) or 2 to 3 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup finely ground blanched almonds
3-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
confectioners’ sugar



Recipe



Cream shortening, butter and granulated sugar; add eggs and beat until light. Mix in almond oil or extract and ground almonds. Add flour to creamed mixture and mix thoroughly. Chill dough or not. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 F. Scoop dough into small balls (I use a 1-1/4" ice cream type scoop) and place on ungreased baking sheets about 2" apart. Slightly flatten top with a dampened cloth-covered glass. Bake until set but not brown, about 14-16 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar over cookies as soon as you take them out of the oven. Cool on cookie sheet. When thoroughly cool, but not cold enough to stick to cookie sheet, remove cookies from cookie sheet and roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Yields 11 dozen cookies.
