ingredients
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup ground toasted almonds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
OR
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
1 cup sifted powdered sugar, for coating
directions
In a medium mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the first measure of powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in the water and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.
Stir in any remaining flour, almonds, and cinnamon or orange peel. If necessary, chill the dough for 1 hour or until easy to handle. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in a 325 degrees F oven about 20 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
Gently shake cooled cookies, a few at a time in a plastic bag with the second measure of powdered sugar.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
