Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 c. Sifted confectioners' sugar, Plus more for rolling
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Almond extract
  • 1 c. Coarsely minced almonds
  • 2 1/3 c. Sifted all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cream together butter and 2/3 c. sugar till fluffy. Beat in extracts, then add in almonds. Stir in flour and beat till well mixed.
  2. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a log 1 inch in diameter. Cut each log into 3/4-inch pcs, and roll each piece into a cylinder 2 inches long.
  3. Place cylinders 1 to 2 inches apart on baking sheets, and form into crescents.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 min, or possibly till lightly golden brown. Let crescents cold, then roll in additional sugar. Makes 5 dozen crescents. Thanks to Martha's eighth-grade home-economics teacher, Miss Baer, many of her friends and family get to enjoy these delicious and easy-to-make cookies. Give them in a reusable tin, such as a pudding mold, tied with a bow.
