Snowdrops image

When I think of Xmas or Mennonite baking, I think of these delicious melt-in-your-mouth bites. When I was too lazy to make them, I used to be able to get them at the local farmers market.

Time 20m

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter
4 tablespoons icing sugar
2 cups cake flour
1 cup almonds, chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Beat butter until creamy; add sugar and blend some more. Mix in the flour, nuts, vanilla and water.
  • Chill until firm enough to shape with your fingers into small round balls.
  • Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes, but watch them - remember they are snow drops, shouldn't even turn golden.
  • Roll in sifted icing sugar as soon as you remove them from the oven. Mmm, toasty fingers coated in melted sugar!
