My best friend'...Sorry you did not like these! My best friend's Greek mom used to make these when we were in high school and shared her recipe with me. Actually, they are not "dredged" in powdered sugar - they get buried in it right out of the oven. The butter seeps out of cookie and forms a sort of icing on them. While they are still hot, you wrap them in plastic wrap and the butter further seeps out. You need lots of powdered sugar! But once cool in the plastic cocoon, when you bite into them, they burst in your mouth, full of almonds and sweetness!<br /><br />You should definitely try these again!Blu486https://www.blogger.com/profile/01192782745562840301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-88206934200127711562008-12-10T12:22:00.000-05:002008-12-10T12:22:00.000-05:00You totally scared me away from these after you me...You totally scared me away from these after you mentioned the dryness. Hilarious, too (well, not your trouble...) because I'd printed the recipe and didn't notice the ONE HOUR mixing time. HUH? Maybe we should call Alton Brown for the science behind that. Bummer -- your cookies are seriously cute. Maybe there's a better recipe out there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-84653173034272122992008-12-08T23:28:00.000-05:002008-12-08T23:28:00.000-05:00Well, it's pretty frustrating to sacrifice all tha...Well, it's pretty frustrating to sacrifice all that butter! I did a little research on these, and not one of the recipes I found had this ratio of wet to dry ingredients. That is, almost all had either less flour or more egg. So, maybe that's part of the dryness problem. Either way, good idea to use as a tart crust. (Maybe there's a cheesecake in your future! :)Sandy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148448735621117653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870704872366786532.post-41714995346835942962008-12-08T08:49:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:49:00.000-05:00They do look a *bit* on the dry side, lol.

It doesn't really look like there's a whole lot of flavor in that recipe anyways.
