Almond Cookies

One of the best recipes I have straight from GG's* kitchen:

Here's the (slightly different) version I worked out before these recipe cards were found:

1 cup butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 cups flour

1/4 lb ground almonds (I buy whole unsalted almonds and grind them in the blender to the consistency of coarse sand)

pinch salt
capful of vanilla

Just mix everything together (a pastry cutter or potato masher works well). Form the dough into "logs" (about the same size and shape as a store-bought tube of cookie dough), wrap tightly, and chill overnight.  Slice (1/4"?) and bake at 350 for 10ish minutes - roll in powered sugar when they've cooled a bit but are still slightly warm.
