Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Cream together butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing until well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

Fold in the ground almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or a fork.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Dust the warm cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
