Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and chopped blanched almonds to the creamed mixture; mix until well incorporated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and pliable. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Roll the dough into a rope approximately 3/4-inch thick. Cut the rope into 3-inch long pieces. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Shape the cookies by rolling each piece back and forth while gently pressing down with two fingers on each end until the piece is about 5-inches long. The dough piece should be plump in the center and thinner on its ends. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Place the formed cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bending the ends toward each other to form a crescent 'C' shape. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges have turned golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

09

Step

Immediately dust the warm cookies generously with confectioners' sugar. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Transfer the dusted cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter. Allow the butter to cool slightly before creaming it with the sugar.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for optimal creaming and a tender cookie texture.
Blanched slivered almonds can be used as an alternative.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.

    Dusting them with powdered sugar while they're still warm is key! They look so pretty.
