Greek Vegan CHRISTMAS! Kourabiedes

INGREDIENTS

250 g (9 oz) coconut oil
90 g (3 oz) icing sugar
100 g (3,5 oz) almonds
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
500 g (1 lb) flour
Icing sugar for the topping

First, whip the oil with the mixer for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, bake or fry the almonds until they become golden brown. Let them cool
Add the icing sugar to the oil and continue whipping for another 5 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the almonds. Stir with a spoon.
Add the flour little by little and stir first with the spoon and then with your hands, until you have a buttery, fragile dough which doesn't stick on your hands.
Make little balls with a little groove in the middle and place on a baking tray with parchment paper.
Bake for 30 minutes at 180 C (350 F)
Prepare a big plate and add icing sugar on the bottom.
As the kourabiedes are still hot, put on a plate, drizzle with water and top them with abundant icing sugar to cover them completely.

Enjoy!
