36 servings

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • Sift flour and baking powder together into a bowl.
  • Cream butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk, brandy, and vanilla; beat until very light. Stir in almonds.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets.
  • Dust generously with confectioners' sugar.
