Directions

1. In an unlimited bowl, beat the margarine and shortening together till fluffy and gentle. Then beat within the the vanilla and salt. It’s top probably to make spend of electrical beaters for this, but to be perfectly just, I don’t have any (yet)! So I used a fork and a few elbow grease, and it gentle came out huge 🙂
2. Mix within the powdered sugar a puny bit at a time. Create the identical with the flour and ground almonds.
3. Now preheat your oven to 325 levels Fahrenheit, and proceed mixing your entire substances together for one other 3 to five minutes till a refined, considerably-crumbly dough forms. To me it resembles shortbread cookie dough, which is radiant, supplied that we’re the spend of shortening.
4. Originate rolling the dough into puny balls with your fingers, about the dimensions of shrimp golf balls, and line them up on a lined baking sheet about an dart and a half of aside. These gained’t opened up too powerful, but it indubitably’s real to present them room to breathe.
5. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, till you explore them reveal his have praises and the bottoms launch to flip golden brown. Watch out when hunting for coloration; the cookies themselves don’t brown up too powerful, so they can without problems overbake within the event you don’t leer them.
6. Let them cool, and within the meanwhile, get out your powdered sugar. When the cookies are cool sufficient that the powdered sugar gained’t gob up on them, give them a neatly-behaved dusting at some level of. Then–real revel in them!
