This is a recipe I make almost every Christmas. I got it from a coworker about 20 years ago. It's a big hit with those who like almonds.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
½ cup almonds, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat butter and confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt; mix briefly to incorporate. Gradually stir 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour into the creamed butter, add almonds, and mix until dough is just combined.
  • Shape dough into tiny crescents; place on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake cookies in preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Roll cookies in sifted confectioners' sugar when cooled.
