INGREDIENTS

Cookies
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter
- ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- 🧂 ¾ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 🌰 1 ½ cups finely ground almonds

STEPS

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Place butter, ¾ cup confectioners' sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
