Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  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. Gradually stir 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour into the creamed butter, add almonds, and mix until dough is just combined.

  3. Shape dough into tiny crescents, place on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

  4. 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.

  5. Roll cookies in sifted confectioners' sugar when cooled.
