Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Ground almonds (or almond flour)
- 140 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Cream them together using a wooden spoon or hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing to combine.
Step 4
Gradually stir in the ground almonds and flour, mixing until the dough forms a cohesive ball. If the dough feels too crumbly, lightly knead it with your hands until it holds together.
Step 5
Divide the dough into small pieces, each about the size of a walnut. Roll each piece into a log about 2-3 inches long and shape it into a crescent (moon) shape.
Step 6
Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each cookie.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as these cookies are delicate.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Step 9
While the cookies are still warm but cool enough to handle, gently dust them with powdered sugar. Use a sieve for an even coating.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
