Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract
- 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and almond flour to the butter mixture. Mix thoroughly to form a slightly crumbly dough.
- Take generous tablespoons of dough, roll each into a small ball, and shape into a crescent. Place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

- Allow the cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Dust each cookie with powdered sugar before serving.
