Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place almonds in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely ground and set aside.
Step 2
Pour cinnamon into a rimmed plate and set aside.
Step 3
Beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until evenly blended. Place the bowl into a large pan filled with ice to help mixture stiffen; make sure butter mixture does not spill out of the bowl.
Step 4
Sift confectioners' sugar into butter mixture. Add ground almonds and stir until combined. Let mixture rest on ice for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Roll mixture into 1/2-inch balls, then roll in cinnamon until evenly coated. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
