Almond Crescents (Mandlove Rohlicky) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup almonds, finely ground
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300\u00b0F.
In food processor:
Mix together flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and ground almonds.
Add in butter, and extracts and pulse until dough comes together.
In mixer:
Cream butter and extracts.
Add in flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and ground almonds.
Forming crescents:
I use a small ice cream scoop, after scooping out a level scoop of dough I cut it in half, press down and shape in to crescent about 1/8-inch thick.
You can also roll the dough into ropes and cut into about 1 1/2-inch lengths and shape it into a crescent, adjust thickness of crescent to your preference.
This dough doesn't spread much so you can put them close together. Bake 15 - 20 minutes until just starting to get golden around the edges (I cook mine a little longer because I like them a little crispy, my kids like theirs softer).
Cool until barely warm, then coat with extra powdered sugar. You may need more than a cup.
Store in airtight container.
