3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar, for garnish

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Transfer the flour, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Beat to combine.
Gather the dough together and roll to 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out desired shapes. (Shapes should be at least 1 inch in diameter.)
Transfer the shapes to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are slightly browned.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets.
Once completely cooled, dust with confectioner's sugar and transfer to a cookie tin or jar.
