I set out these cookies as we open our gifts on Christmas Eve. Before long, the plate is empty and I'm being asked to refill it! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-2/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup finely ground blanched almonds |
topping: |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluff. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and almonds; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls; shape into crescents. Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set (do not brown).
3. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll warm cookies in cinnamon-sugar; cool on wire racks. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
