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.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
½ cup almonds, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Shape dough into tiny crescents; place on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • 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.
  • Roll cookies in sifted confectioners' sugar when cooled.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and greasy. I'm going to try again with another recipe.

These cookies were a bit of a disappointment. They were too dry and didn't have much flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of almond cookies, but these were really good. The almond flavor was subtle and the cookies were perfectly crispy.

The cookies were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as expected. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out great. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again.
