These were one of the cookies I remember my mom making often for holidays. She would make icing colored to match the holiday. They truly do melt in your mouth because they each probably have 500 grams of saturated fat.
1 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
Cream margarine with sugar until fluffy then beat at medium speed after adding flour. Chill several hours.
Roll rounded teaspoonful (small size) into balls and place one inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 122 minutes until firm. Cool on rack.
Frosting – cream together:
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. milk
¼ tsp. almond flavor
Food color for icing
Put two balls together with icing in middle.
