Ingredients
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)
Preparation
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.
