Almond Crescents

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 15-20 minutes


1 cup butter
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup almonds (chopped finely)
2 1/2 cups flour


Cream together butter and sugar. Add in vanilla, almond extract and almonds. Stir in flour until well mixed.


Shape into crescents and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 F for 15-20 minutes. 


Let the cookies cool ALMOST all the way- they need to be slightly warm- and roll them in powdered sugar. If they are too warm, the powdered sugar will melt. If they are too cool, it won't stick.
