These Vanilla Crescents are delightfully delicious with hint of vanilla and almonds. A perfect pairing with a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of sweet wine.
Any cookie lovers out there? Yeah? Me too! I also enjoy trying new cookie recipes. I recently spotted this one in a Taste of Home cookbook my mom has. I’m as big fan of almonds, so I was anxious to give them a try. They are simple and delicious — a winning combination {wink}.
Vanilla Crescents
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup sugar

Preheat over to 350.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in extracts.

In another bowl, whisk flour, almonds and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

Dust warm cookies with confectionery sugar.
Don’t they look delicious? My sister helped me out with this recipe, and loved them! I often send extra goodies into work with her too — Steve and I can only eat so much. Haha!
Package these up in a treat bag for gifting, serve at your next tea party, or make a batch for snacking! Keep the recipe on-hand too, you’re friends will ask! Enjoy.
