Delicious Almond Crescents Recipe for Cookies Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
40
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup ground almonds (can substitute with almond flour)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, ground almonds, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream Butter

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter, mixing well.

    Do not overmix; stop once combined.
  5. Shape the Cookies

    Take small portions of dough and shape them into crescent forms.

    Use damp hands to prevent sticking.
  6. Arrange and Top

    Place the crescents on a baking sheet and top with sliced almonds.

    Leave space between each cookie for expansion.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
