--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       c            Butter
     1/2   c            Powdered sugar -- sifted
   1       ts           Vanilla
   1       ts           Almond extract
   2 1/4   c            Flour -- sifted
     1/2   ts           Salt
     3/4   c            Nuts -- finely chopped

  Mix butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract together thoroughly.
  Sift flour and salt together. Blend all ingredients together. Mix
  in nuts. Chill dough. Roll into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie
  sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 400°F for 9 to 10 minutes until
  set, not brown. Roll in powdered sugar while still warm. Roll once
  more after cooled. Triple recipe and do not overbake. The secret to
  moist teacakes is to catch them when they are set, 9 minutes.
