1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. water
2 cups flour
1 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup powdered sugar
In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Stir
in vanilla and water. Add the flour and almonds, mix until blended. Cover
and chill for an hour or two.
Preheat oven to 325°. Shape dough into balls.
Place on an unprepared cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated
oven.
Meanwhile, spread powdered sugar along the bottom
of a shallow dish. Roll hot cookies in sugar. The sugar will get a bit melty
and sticky. Allow to cool, then roll in sugar again. Store at room temperature
in an airtight container.
