INGREDIENTS

1 cup of butter, room temperature

2/3 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of almond extract

2 1/2 cups of flour

1 cup of almond flour (can substitute ground almonds*)

1/4 cup of powdered sugar for sprinkling

*You can use slivered, blanched almonds and grind them up, but you will
have a very crumbly, hard to work with dough. It’ll still taste good
though.

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.
