Preheat the Oven: Set the oven’s temperature to 350°F (175°C). To make cleaning easier, line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and ½ cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Let the magic begin, everyone.
Whisk in the Flavors: Add in the vanilla and almond extracts, blending until just combined. These extracts are the secret handshake of the Keebler Danish Wedding Cookie recipe, offering a nod to the cookie’s rich heritage.
Combine the dry ingredients: Put the all-purpose flour and salt in a different bowl and mix them together with a whisk. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until well incorporated. If you’re feeling nutty, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.
Shape the Cookies: Take small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not yet browned. They’re like undercover agents in a sea of heat, barely leaving a trace until they’re done.
The Finished Touch: Before moving the cookies to a wire rack, let them cool on the baking sheet for around five minutes. Sprinkle them liberally with powdered sugar while they’re still warm. It’s like a snowfall of sweetness.
Enjoy! After they’ve cooled, these cookies are ready to be eaten. Serve them with a side of love and a cup of tea or coffee for the ultimate experience.
