ALMOND SNOW COOKIES




Source of Recipe


Unknown


List of Ingredients




1¼ cup soft butter
½ cup shortening (Crisco)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2-3 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup finely ground blanched almonds
3½ cups sifted flour
Confectioner's sugar


Recipe



Cream shortening, butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, and beat until light. Mix in almond extract and ground almonds.

Add flour to creamed mixture and mix thoroughly. Chill dough for at least 2 hours.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325° F.

Scoop dough into small balls (a 1¼ inch ice cream scoop works well), and place on ungreased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

Slightly flatten top with a dampened cloth-covered glass.

Bake until set, but not brown, about 14-16 minutes

Sift confectioner's sugar over the cookies, as soon as you take them out of the oven. Cool them on the cookie sheet. When totally cool, but not cold enough to stick to the pan, remove and roll in additional confection's sugar.

Makes about 11 dozen cookies.
