1/2 Lb (2 Sticks) Unsalted Butter
2/3 Cup Sifted Confectioner's Sugar Plus More
For Rolling
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Tsp Almond Extract
1 Cup Coarsely Chopped Almonds
2 1/3 Cups Sifted All-Purpose Flour

1. Heat oven to 350° and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cream
together butter and 2/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in extracts, then add
almonds. Stir in flour and beat until well mixed.

2. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a log 1 inch in diameter. Cut
each log into 3/4-inch pieces, and roll each piece into a cylinder 2 inches

crescents.
