Steps:
- Beat butter until light and fluffy; beat in the 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, egg yolk and almonds.
- Gradually add flour to make a soft dough that you can shape with your hands.
- Pinch off pieces of dough the size of a large walnut and roll between your hands into round balls or form half moons.
- Place about 1 1/2" apart on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a 275 degree oven 45 minutes or until very lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets until lukewarm.
- Sift about 1/2 of the 1 pound powdered sugar over butcher paper; arranged in a shallow pan, and carefully transfer cookies from baking sheet to sugar.
- Sift more powdered sugar over tops and sides; completely coating cookies at least 1/8" thick with sugar.
- Let stand until cool; store in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers of cookies.
