I tweaked this from a recipe for pecan sandies, since my hubby & I don't like pecans. He loves these. He says everyone in his office are always asking when I'm going to make them again.

I hope you enjoy :)

How to Make Almond Sandies

Step-by-Step

In a mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric hand blender until creamed.
Add about 1/2 the flour, all of the sugar, almond extract, and 1 tablespoon water.
Beat until thoroughly combined.
Beat in remaining flour (if dough is too dry, add a little more water).
Stir in almonds.
Shape into 1 inch balls.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and lighly flatten with the palm of your hand.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
Cool cookies on a wire rack.
Gently shake cooled cookies in a bag with powdered sugar (if desired).
