Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter (no substitutes), softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup finely ground almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioners' sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
Combine flour, almonds and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Divide dough into fourths. Roll out each portion into a long rope, about 1/4 in. diameter. Cut into 2-in. lengths. Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets; form each into a crescent.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until set. Cool.
Roll gently in additional powdered sugar after cooling.
NOTE: also tastes great if you use ground hazel nuts instead of almonds.
