Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually add in the flour, ground almonds, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Take small pieces of dough and shape them into crescent forms. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden. Keep an eye on them; you want them to stay light!
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Finally, dust them lightly with additional powdered sugar before serving. Trust me; this makes them even more irresistible!
