DESCRIPTION
Hungarian Recipes - Almond Cookies (by cups and tsps)

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Family / Ethnic / Regional

INSTRUCTIONS
2 Cups butter
3 1/4 cups flour
2 1/4 cup sugar
4 cups ground almonds
Sour cream
Vanilla sugar (made with powdered sugar)

Cream the butter and sugar, add the flour and ground almonds. Add just enough sour cream to bind them into a dough. Usually 1 or 2 tablespoons is all it takes. Roll out to 1/4 of an inch thickness and cut into strips or use very small cookie cutters and cut out shapes. A crescent moon was traditional in our house. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees. When done, the cookies will appear light in color. I'm guessing it takes about 10 minutes. Next time I make a batch I'll check and list the time here.
Take the cookies out of the oven and drop them into a bowl full of vanilla powdered sugar. Take out of the sugar and cool on racks. Layer between sheets of waxed paper and store airtight when cool. If you are serving these a couple of days after baking, they may need to be sprinkled with more vanilla sugar.
