Angel Almond Balls

1 cup butter, room temperature (no substitutes!)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (more if needed)

Preparation:
1. Set oven to 300 degrees.
2. Butter a large baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed beat butter with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and almond extract until smooth (about 3 minutes).
4. In a medium bowl mix the flour with baking powder; add to the creamed mixture; beat until blended.
5. Stir in chopped almonds.
6. Shape into 1-inch balls and place about 1-inch apart on the buttered baking sheet.
7. Bake about 20-25 minutes or until pale golden brown (do not overbake!).
8. Let the cookies stand on sheet until cool enough to handle.
9. Place about 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
Roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar evenly to coat all over.
10. Set the cookies on racks to cool completely.
