How to Make Dutch Letters
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2-inch wide strips.
- Brush each strip with melted butter and sprinkle generously with sliced almonds.
- Starting at one end, roll the strip tightly into a spiral.
- Curve the spiral into a crescent shape and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
