Steps:
- Beat butter until light and fluffy; beat in the 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, egg yolk and almonds.
- Gradually add flour to make a soft dough that you can shape with your hands.
- Pinch off pieces of dough the size of a large walnut and roll between your hands into round balls or form half moons.
- Place about 1 1/2" apart on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a 275 degree oven 45 minutes or until very lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets until lukewarm.
- Sift about 1/2 of the 1 pound powdered sugar over butcher paper; arranged in a shallow pan, and carefully transfer cookies from baking sheet to sugar.
- Sift more powdered sugar over tops and sides; completely coating cookies at least 1/8" thick with sugar.
- Let stand until cool; store in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers of cookies.
MEXICAN TEA CAKES
Steps:
- Beat together butter and 1/2 cup confectioners sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla, then add flour, pecans, and salt and mix at low speed until just combined. Chill, covered, at least 6 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Let dough stand at room temperature until just pliable, about 15 minutes. Roll level teaspoons of dough into 3/4-inch balls and arrange about 2 inches apart on lightly buttered large baking sheets.
- Sift remaining 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar into a large shallow bowl.
- Bake in batches in middle of oven until bottoms are pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately transfer hot cookies to confectioners sugar, gently rolling to coat well, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Roll cookies in confectioners sugar again when cooled.
