Almond Butter Balls

This recipe was passed down from my grandmother and it is absolutely delicious. These cookies make a wonderful gift or party treat. They are very fun and easy to make! You can form the balls as big or as small as you would like. I prefer them to be a bit on the smaller size so that they make a perfect bite-sized treat!

 

Recipe:

1 cup butter

3 tablespoons confectioners sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon almond extract

2 cups sifted flour

1 cup diced almonds

Powdered Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter and sugar together. Add flavorings.
3. Stir in flour and almonds. Blend well.
4. Form dough into tiny balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
6. Roll balls in powdered sugar while still hot.

A couple notes:

I used ¼ teaspoon of almond extract to add extra almond flavor.

Enjoy!
