I first had these yummy crumbly cookies at a Greek Easter celebration.  These cookies are so easy to make and are perfect for Christmas celebrations as well.  Enjoy! 

2 cups unbleached flour

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 sticks (1/2 lb) of unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar (extra for dusting)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons almond extract

1 1/2 cups of toasted &  ground walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds

Preheat oven to 325F.

Combine flour, salt and nuts - toss until well blended.  Set aside.  Cream butter by hand or in a mixer until light.  Add powdered sugar, vanilla and almond extract.  Blend well until very light.   Blend in flour mixture until evenly incorporated.  With a small ice cream baller,  shape dough into 1 tablespoon balls and place on cookie sheet.  Bake until very lightly golden brown for about 20 minutes.  Cool completely before tossing in powdered sugar.  Enjoy!  Makes about 36 to 40 cookies.
