CHRISTMAS ALMOND ICEBOX COOKIES

Category: Cookies

1 pound butter (no substitutes)
1 pound almonds, ground
2 cups sugar
4 scant cups flour (start with less, and then add more as needed to reach proper consistency)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dash salt

Mix ingredients. Using wax paper, form into rolls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate two hours or more. Slice thinly (about 1/4-inch slices) and bake in 375- to 400-degree oven about 10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. When cool, roll in powdered sugar.
