Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup cooking fat
• 1/2 cup powder sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup peeled almonds
• 4-5 cups four
• some ouzo (optional)

1. First of all put the almonds in a blender and work until they are almost dust. Work the butter and fat along with the sugar in the mixer until they are white and fluffy. Add 2 cups of flour, the vanilla and the almonds. Knead softly pouring as much flour as it needs until the mixture doesn't stuck on your fingers.

2. Don't knead for long, form small biscuits (you can be creative here) and bake them for 30' on 175oC.

3. When you take them out you can sprinkle some ouzo on them. Sprinkle powder sugar on them until they are covered completely and let them cool down.
