  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

How to Make Almond Crescents Mandlove Rohlicky

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor or stand mixer, combine the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the ground almonds, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
  5. Shape each slice into a crescent. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each crescent.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the crescents cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
