I love how these cookies are both easy to make and perfect for sharing—whether at holiday parties or as edible gifts.

Start by mixing the flour and salt. Next, mix the softened butter with confectioners’ sugar and almond extract until it’s creamy. Then add in the dry ingredients and finely ground toasted nuts.

Make the dough

1

Chill (optional)

Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes helps prevent the cookies from spreading, but if you’re short on time, you can skip this step.

2

Shape the cookies

Roll the dough into small balls, about a tablespoon each, and place them on a prepared baking sheet.

3

Bake

Bake at 350°F until the cookies are just barely golden, about 12–15 minutes.

4

Double sugar coating

Roll the warm cookies in confectioners’ sugar, then let them cool before rolling again for a perfect snowy coating.
