- 3 tbsp melted dairy-free butter (unsalted)
- ⅓ cup roasted almonds, chopped
- Optional: ½ tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.

- Roll into 8 balls and place on baking sheet. Gently flatten the tops.
- Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in remaining ⅓ cup powdered sugar.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool fully. Roll again in powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Roll while cookies are warm so the sugar sticks better.
- For a stronger almond flavor, use almond extract.
- Toast almonds before chopping for deeper flavor.
- Roll a second time once cooled for a thicker snowy look.
