INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and almond extract until smooth. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
