Ingredients

  • 115 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 175 g Powdered sugar

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 50 g Nuts, almonds

  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 115 g Butter, unsalted

for sprinkling

  • 50 g Powdered sugar

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, combine almonds, flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients well, then add vanilla extract.

  2. Use your fingers to mix the butter into the mixture and knead it into a dough. On a floured work surface, roll it out to about 3 cm thick and use a larger round cutter to cut out approximately 23 larger round cookies.

  3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, arrange the cookies on it with at least 2 cm of space between them, then place the tray in the oven. Bake the cookies for about 30 minutes until they are lightly browned.

  4. Once the cookies are baked, let them cool on a wire rack (at least half an hour), then dust them with powdered sugar and serve.
