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.
