I made these for a friend who can’t find the Salerno Almond Crescents anymore and she said they were amazing! Absolutely melt in your mouth. I think the key was take out at 11 min and roll immediately in powdered sugar1Replies 1

i added a little more (under 1/4 cup) of flour and a little less of the almond flavoring. I used slivered almonds. They were a hit this past Thanksgiving.2Replies 1
