Make this cookie in a food processor or Kitchen Aid mixture to speed up the process.

1 cup semolina
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
sliced almonds

Combine flour and the semolina; set aside. Cream the sugar and butter. Very slowly add the semolina/flour mixture, beating continually to whip in air. Place dough in a bowl and let rest at least 4 hours. Dip your hands in milk and knead the dough. Knead in the vanilla. Roll dough into 1" balls and place on cookie sheet about 2 " apart. Garnish the tops with almonds. Bake until golden brown. Let cool on cookie sheet.
