Lightly toast the almonds in a coated pan and let them cool.
Mix the soft butter with the powdered sugar and the scraped pulp from ½ vanilla pod, or butter-vanilla flavor or vanilla sugar until frothy. Add the flour and mix well. Then work in the cooled almonds.
Cut off small heaps with 2 teaspoons and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper with a little space, because the dough is still a little apart due to the high butter content.
Bake at 180 degrees lower and upper heat for about 20 minutes.
