Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. 2 Beat butter and confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt; mix briefly to incorporate.
  3. 3 Gradually stir 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour into the creamed butter, add almonds, and mix until dough is just combined.
  4. 4 Shape dough into tiny crescents; place on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  5. 5 Bake cookies in preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. 6 Roll cookies in sifted confectioners' sugar when cooled.
