Ingredients

1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup almond flour
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside
In a mixing bowl using a handheld mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in almond extract and vanilla extract.
Scrape down the bowl and add the flour, and salt. Knead with your fingers until dough comes together. Dough will be crumbly but should come together when shaped and compressed. If dough is too stick to neatly shape, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time. Do not add more than 1/4 cup totally.
Roll the dough into a log. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll the dough into 1/2 inch balls then shape balls into crescents. Place on prepare baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove to a wire rack until cool enough to handle. While cookies are still warm, roll in confectioners' sugar. Return to wire rack and cool completely. Dust with more powdered sugar before serving or storing.
