Number Of Ingredients 6

225 grams margarine, melted
125 grams icing sugar
310 grams all-purpose flour
100 grams nuts, chopped (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (scant)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (scant)

Steps:

  • Mix together flour, sugar, nuts, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
  • Add in melted margarine and mix well with wooden spoon or hands until no dry streaks remain. If mixture is too crumbly, add more margarine; if too wet, add flour.
  • Form into balls by tightly packing and rolling in hands. They should be bite-sized, 1-2 inches in diameter.
  • Place on lined baking sheet. Bake at 180°C for 10-12 minutes, until firm to the touch.
  • Cool slightly until they can be handled comfortably (about 5 minutes). Roll a few times in powdered sugar and set aside to cool completely.
  • Once cooled completely (about 20 minutes), roll liberally in powdered sugar and serve or store unrefrigerated.
