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.
- Place cylinders 1 to 2 inches apart on baking sheets, and form into crescents.
- 3. 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.
