Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, almond flour and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract and almond extract until mixture is smooth.
Working by hand or with a mixer on low speed, stir in the flour mixture until dough comes together and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls between your palms so that they form 1 1/2 to 2 inch logs that are thicker in the center than at the ends. Curl the ends around to form a crescent and transfer to a prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and are very lightly browned at the edges.
Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
When cookies are cool, sift confectioners’ sugar into a shallow bowl or dish. Generously coat the cookies in confectioners’ sugar and then serve or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Makes about 2 dozen.
