Ingredients
-
1 lb whipped butter (softened)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons whiskey
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
confectioners' sugar (for dusting)
1 cup almonds, finely chopped (optional)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Whip butter until white.
Slowly add sugar, vanilla, and brandy.
Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time.
Shape cookies by rolling into balls (about the size of a meatball), then gently press your thumb into the top of the cookie and twist slightly.
This will help flatten the cookie just a bit.
Place cookies on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the cookies are sand colored.
Sift confectioner's sugar onto a large sheet of wax paper.
Upon removing cookies from oven, carefully place on sugar and sift additional sugar to cover the tops and sides of cookies.
