Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, finely ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Scoop portions of dough using a tablespoon and roll into balls, spacing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.

  6. After baking, cool the cookies on the sheets for about 5 minutes.
