VIENNESE ALMOND CRESCENTS
Rooted in tradition, these Viennese Almond Crescents are deeply reminiscent of the cookies your grandma use to make-it might even be the same exact recipe. All it takes is one bite of these light and airy cookies and memories of Christmases past will come flooding back. Dusted with powdered sugar like fresh fallen snow, we think it's almost impossible to eat just one of these melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. This traditional Austrian dessert can be enjoyed after dinner with a hot cup of coffee and can be the standout treat on your Christmas cookie tray. The secret for the delicate crumb of these cookies? Almond meal-try making your own in a food processor with sliced almonds and sugar. For a flavor boost, try adding a splash of almond extract to the dough. Nothing compares to these sweet little crescent moons, and once you try this recipe, we think you'll be making these for many Christmases to come.
