For a festive look you can sprinkle them with course sparkly sugar, if you want.   You can easily make them in advance, freeze them and dust with icing sugar at the end.  For metric measurements please note this is weight not volume.     1 cup soft butter (250 gm ) 1/2 cup icing sugar, for the cookie dough (70 gm ) 1 tsp. vanilla (5 ml) 2 1/2 cups cake and pastry flour (340 gm ) ½ tsp. salt (2 ml) 2 Tbsp. Orange brandy (25 ml) Grated zest of 1 orange 1 cup whole almonds , raw , skin on (140 gm ) approx. 1 cup icing sugar, for sprinkling the tops (140 gm) course sugar sprinkles optional    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.   Toast the whole almonds at 350 D for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and pulse in food processor until chunky but not finely ground.    Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and ½ cup icing sugar well, until light and fluffy, about 7-9 minutes, scraping down the sides often. Add the vanilla, orange zest and liqueur and beat until blended.    Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the flour to creamed butter and work on low speed just to combine.  Add the ground nuts and beat on medium speed until smooth.    Roll into 36 even ball  or form into crescent shape.  Make a thumbprint in to to prevent sugar from rolling off.  Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.   Bake in 350 D F  until lightly golden, about 18-20 minutes. Cool cookies and sprinkle with icing sugar or roll completely to cover in icing sugar, depending on your preference.  Sprinkle with coloured course sugar for a festive look.     Makes about 36  cookies Connect with Chef Christine on social media: Instagram: instagram.com/ccfearless​​ Twitter: twitter.com/ccfearless​​ Facebook: facebook.com/ChefChristin​​...
