Almond Crescent Cookies Recipe
Ingredients

1. 1 cup of butter, room temperature
2. 2/3 cup of sugar
3. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
4. 1 teaspoon of almond extract
5. 2 1/2 cups of flour
6. 1 cup of almond flour (can substitute ground almonds*)
7. 1/4 cup of powdered sugar for sprinkling

Method

1 Cream the butter and the sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the extracts and mix.

2 Add the flour and almond flour. Mix thoroughly.

3 Take generous tablespoons of the dough (it will be slightly crumbly) and roll it into a small ball, about an inch in diameter, and then shape into a crescent shape. Place onto parchment paper and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until a light golden brown.

4 Dust with powdered sugar.

For added decadence let the cookies cool and dip one end of them into some melted chocolate, then let the chocolate harden.

Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
