Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup(s) butter, softened
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
2 - egg yolks
2 1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) almond extract
1 cup(s) 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Beat butter, powdered sugar, and egg yolks in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and almond extract at low speed until well blended.
  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls. (If dough is too soft to handle, cover and refrigerate until firm.) Roll balls into 2 inch long ropes, tapering both ends. Curve ropes into crescent shapes. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. (Cookies will not brown.) Remove to wire racks; cool completely. Dip one end of each crescent in melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper; let stand until chocolate is set.
