Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup blanched almonds and chopped
  •  egg yolk 
  • 1.7 cups flour all-purpose
  • cup butter unsalted at room temperature
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 0.5 cup sugar white

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • wire rack

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla, and almonds; mix a few seconds until well incorporated. Stir in the flour until a dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into a rope 3/4-inch thick.
  5. Cut the rope into 3-inch long pieces. Shape the cookies by rolling each piece back and forth while pressing down gently 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 it's ends. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  6. Place the cookies onto a cookie sheet, bending the ends toward each other to form a crescent 'C' shape.
  7. Bake in preheated oven until the edges have turned golden brown, about 20 minutes. Dust immediately with powdered sugar, then cool completely on a wire rack.
