Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Blanched Sliced Almonds
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Softened
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Marmalade
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a food processor or blender, pulse the almonds until they are in small, coarse pieces.
  • Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until light yellow and creamy. Beat in the marmalade.
  • Add the flour and salt, stirring until there are no dry spots left.
  • Fold in the almonds until all the pieces are mixed in well.
  • Form the dough into 1” balls and space them 1” apart on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 11-14 minutes, or until the bottoms are just barely beginning to brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately and allow to cool.
