Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar, then beat until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
