1 cup toasted almonds, chopped*
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

1 Preheat oven to 350°.
2 Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
3 In stand mixer with the flat beater attached, cream butter and brown
sugar until smooth. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl. Add
nuts. Mix well.
4 Sift together flour and salt. Tilt mixer head back and add sifted flour
and salt. Mix well, about 30 seconds.
5 With a teaspoon, form the dough into small ovals and place about
1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.

*HELPFUL HINT: To toast nuts, preheat oven to 350°. Spread the nuts
onto a cookie sheet and place in oven for 3 to 5 minutes, until you can
smell the rich nut flavor. Let cool; then chop well with a food processor.
