- Ingredients:

- Yields:
-
3 dozen
ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup almonds, finely ground
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
directions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
-
In food processor:
- Mix together flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and ground almonds.
- Add in butter, and extracts and pulse until dough comes together.
-
In mixer:
- Cream butter and extracts.
- Add in flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and ground almonds.
-
Forming crescents:
- I use a small ice cream scoop, after scooping out a level scoop of dough I cut it in half, press down and shape in to crescent about 1/8-inch thick.
- You can also roll the dough into ropes and cut into about 1 1/2-inch lengths and shape it into a crescent, adjust thickness of crescent to your preference.
- This dough doesn't spread much so you can put them close together. Bake 15 - 20 minutes until just starting to get golden around the edges (I cook mine a little longer because I like them a little crispy, my kids like theirs softer).
- Cool until barely warm, then coat with extra powdered sugar. You may need more than a cup.
- Store in airtight container.

These were very very good moma and of course I read your review after the fact and noted I should have doubled the recipe. I should have known by only using 1 cup of flour. I only got 12 pretty good size cookies from this batch. I love almond anyway and so I knew I couldn't go wrong w/this recipe. Thanks bunches!!
