Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Crescent Cookies Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature butter and 1/3 cup of confectioners' sugar, using an electric mixer to whip them into a smooth, creamy blend.
Step 3
Next, introduce the delightful flavors of vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing just until incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually fold in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sifted flour, then gently add the finely chopped almonds, ensuring the dough comes together without overmixing.
Step 5
Shape the dough into charming crescent forms and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 6
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once baked, allow the cookies to rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
For the final touch, roll the cooled cookies in a dusting of sifted confectioners' sugar, transforming them into a sweet, snowy delight.
Step 9
Enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor the moment!.
