Description

Almond Crescent Cookies are delicate, buttery cookies shaped like crescents and flavored with ground almonds and vanilla. With a light dusting of powdered sugar, they’re a classic treat perfect for holidays or any time you want a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120 g) finely ground almonds (almond meal)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For dusting:

  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar:
    • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla:
    • Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
  5. Shape the cookies:
    • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a log shape. Curve the log slightly to form a crescent shape. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake the cookies:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. While still slightly warm, generously dust them with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
  8. Cool completely:
    • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with more powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Almond substitutes: You can use finely ground hazelnuts or walnuts for a variation on the classic flavor.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. These cookies also freeze well for up to 3 months.
  • Vanilla sugar: For an extra touch of flavor, use vanilla sugar mixed with powdered sugar for dusting.
