  3. Mix in the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the buttery mix.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick.

  2. For easier rolling, let the butter soften but don’t let it melt. You can try different flavors of jam or spices to customize the recipe.
