Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup finely-chopped walnuts
½ cup vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®)
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift the confectioners' sugar into a shallow bowl, stir in the walnuts, and set aside.
  • Beat the shortening, butter, cream cheese, and sugar together in a bowl until the mixture is creamy and thoroughly blended. Mix in the almond extract, vanilla extract, and flour; stir to combine. Scoop up dough by rounded tablespoons, and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls about 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies turn slightly golden at the edges, about 6 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 1 minute, then roll in the confectioners' sugar-walnut mixture while still a little warm.
