Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Take about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a small log, about 2-3 inches long. Gently shape the log into a crescent shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
While the cookies are still warm, carefully dust them generously with powdered sugar using a fine sieve. Allow the cookies to cool completely on wire racks before serving.
Store the crescent cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
