These Almond Crescent Cookies are a delightfully light cookie, filled with delicious almond flavor!
These classic Almond Crescent Cookies are delightfully delicate and sweet. The buttery cookie has a pronounced almond flavor that is sure to captivate anyone, making them the perfect Holiday cookie!
Almond Crescent Cookies:
- Start by grinding up a cup of slivered almonds in a food processor or high powered blender.
- If you don’t have one of those, you can substitute the ground almonds for almond flour!
Combine some butter and sugar in a bowl or stand mixer and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Once the butter is light and fluffy, you’ll mix in some vanilla extract and almond extract.
Alternately add in the ground almonds and some all purpose flour, while using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer.
You can also use a hand mixer if that’s all you have available.
Roll the cookie dough into 1 inch balls and then shape them into crescent shapes with your fingers.
Place them on a cookie sheet and bake until set. The cookies will be a light golden brown, and very delicate while warm, so handle with care.
All that’s left to do is dust the cookies with some powdered sugar and enjoy!
