Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until a stiff dough forms.

Slowly beat in the chopped and lightly toasted almonds until evenly distributed.

Using a cookie scoop or teaspoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls.

Place the cookie balls on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool completely.

Once cooled, roll the cookies in the remaining 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar.

Serve and enjoy!
