Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
16 Tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1¼ cups confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup ground blanched almonds

Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter on high speed until fluffy and pale yellow. Add ½ cup of the confectioners' sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low, add the vanilla and salt, and beat until blended.

Over a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended. Stir in the almonds. Cover and refrigerate until the dough is chilled but not hard and is no longer sticky to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 350º. Sift the remaining ¾ cup confectioners sugar into a shallow bowl.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets.

Bake until the cookies are just golden on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove the cookies one at a time and roll them in the confectioners' sugar. Let the cookies cool completely on wire racks.
