Steps

30 minutes

1

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer until well combined. Add the vanilla, sugar, and orange zest.
2

Separately, combine the flour and salt, then add to the butter mixture. Mix well and add the almonds, kneading by hand until a manageable dough forms.
3

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a not-too-thin thickness and cut circles using the bottom of a small glass or cup.
4

Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 25 minutes or until firm. They should remain soft. Let cool.

Glaze:
