Directions
Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃).
In a mixer bowl beat butter and confectioners' sugar together until light.
Beat in vanilla and grated peels.
Sift together flour, whole wheat flour, cornstarch, and cardamom and add to butter mixture.
Mix at low speed until almost combined, then add ground nuts and mix until combined.
Shape into nickel-sized balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake until bottoms are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then roll in sifted confectioners' sugar and let finish cooling completely on a rack.
Roll again in confectioners' sugar and store in an airtight container.
