Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the almonds, flour, sugar, and fennel seed. Pulse to finely grind the nuts. Add the extracts and butter to the food processor and continue pulsing until the ingredients combine into a smooth dough (the mixture will be crumbly).

Pre-heat the oven to 325ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Scoop out a piece of dough about 1 tablespoon in size and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the baking sheet and continue with the remaining dough, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
