#2037 - Butter Almond Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 sticks softened butter
1 cup Domino's powdered sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
2 cups flour
1 cup finely chopped almonds

In a mixer add butter and 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar--beat. Add almond extract--beat. Add flour--beat. Remove bowl from mixer--add chopped almonds--stir with a wooden spoon. Shape the dough into 4 logs, then wrap each log in Saran wrap. Refrigerate dough logs overnight. The next day, remove one dough log from refrigerator--unwrap. Place log on a cutting board. Cut cookies from log in 1/4" pieces and place them on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until slightly browned. Repeat with all dough. Cool cookies completely. Use remaining powdered sugar to dust the tops of the cooled cookies.
