-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Unsalted butter
2/3 c Confectioner's sugar -- sifted,
- plus more for rolling
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Almond extract
1 c Almonds -- coarsely chopped
2 1/3 c All-purpose flour -- sifted
Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cream
together butter and 2/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in extracts,
then add almonds. Stir in flour and beat until well mixed.
Divide dough in half and roll each half into a log 1" in diameter.
Cut each log into 3/4" pieces, and roll each piece into a cylinder 2"
long. Place cylinders 1 to 2" apart on baking sheets, and form into
crescents.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let crescents
cool, then roll in additional sugar.
