Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400° F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream or mix together the softened butter and sugar.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing well.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
  • Add the finely chopped almonds, mixing well.
  • Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto an un-greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 400° F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden. Remove them from the cookie sheet, and place them on a wire rack to cool.
  • When the cookies have mostly cooled but are still slightly warm, dust them in powdered sugar, making sure each cookie has a good coating of powdered sugar.
  • Serve with a mug of ice cold milk, hot tea, or coffee.
