Full Moon Cakes

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F

Step 2

Place the almonds or walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes, or until lightly brown and fragrant. Let them cool and once the nuts have cooled completely place them, along with 2 tablespoons of the flour from the recipe, into your food processor and process until they are finely ground (but not a paste). This can also be done in a blender or a coffee grinder if you break it into batches.

Step 3

In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the remaining flour and salt and beat until combined. Stir in the nuts and as you do so, focus on your intentions for this full moon. Thing about all those things that have come to fruition and what it is that you still wish to create in you life, or what you will be focusing on ridding yourself of over the next half of the moon cycle. Cover the dough and refrigerate the dough for about one hour or until firm.

Step 4

Heat the oven again to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 5

Form the chilled dough into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for about 12 -15 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes start to brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, place 1 cup of confectioners sugar in a bowl. After they’ve cooled for 5 minutes, take the still hot cookies and roll them in the sugar, one at a time. Be careful not to burn your fingers! Place them on a wire rack to finish cooling. Alternatively, you can simply place the confectioner's sugar in a strainer and sift the sugar over the tops of the cookies. Let cool completely before storing. They can be stored in an airtight container for several weeks.
