"My husband loves these cookies," says Elaine Anderson of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. "They have an old-fashioned flavor that goes well with a cup of tea. Plus they're simple to put together."

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped almonds

Directions

In a small bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in almonds. Shape into 1-in. balls.
Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-13 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown and cookies are set. Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Roll in remaining confectioners' sugar.
