Yield: 50 servings

1 c Sweet butter
1/2 c Powdered sugar
1 ea Egg yolk
2 tb Brandy or Cognac, (optional)
1 ts Almond extract
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Baking powder
2 1/4 c Sifted cake flour; (or more)
3/4 c Ground almonds; toasted
1 lb Powdered sugar; sifted

In electric mixing bowl, whip the sweet butter until

powder with the flour and gradually add to the batter,
mixing by hand and working the flour thoroughly into
the mixture before adding more. Mix in ground
almonds. Knead until a soft, buttery dough is formed
that will stay together when a little is rolled in the
palms of your hands. Break off pieces slightly larger

S-curves. Place on cookie sheets allowing an inch
between each. Bake on the center rack of a 350-degree

over to cover Kourambiedes. Allow to cool for 10 to
15 minutes before lifting and rolling to be sure they
are evenly coated. May be served in Individual fluted
