Place the butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Beat them with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. (This process is called creaming the butter and sugar.) Beat in the vanilla and water until combined.
Sift in the flour and add the almonds. Beat on medium-high speed until ingredients are blended. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shape the dough into bite-sized balls or crescents. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them sit for 5 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.
Place the powdered sugar in a medium shallow bowl. Roll the cookies in the sugar until coated on all sides. Let the cookies cool completely.
Roll the cookies again in powdered sugar once or twice more. Enjoy!
