How to Make Angel Almond Balls
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Grease a large baking sheet with butter.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon almond extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped almonds.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until they are firm enough to handle.
- Place 1 ½ cups powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
- Gently roll each warm cookie in the powdered sugar until evenly coated.
- Place the coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
