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.
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- ½ cup almonds, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Shape dough into tiny crescents; place on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Roll cookies in sifted confectioners' sugar when cooled.
Cook’s Notes:
If your kitchen is warm, the dough can be challenging to shape. Chill dough for 1 hour or overnight to make it stiff enough to handle.
