Crescent Cakes

I love these cookies and they're a great treat - be it for a party or for a ritual (especially for Esbats). Hope you guys like!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup finely ground almonds
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
• 2 drops almond extract
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg yolk

Combine almonds, flour, sugar and extract until thoroughly mixed. With your hands, work in butter and egg yolk until well blended. Chill dough (about 4-5 hours for us, or leave it overnight). Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of walnuts and shape into crescents. Place on greased baking sheets (or line sheets with parchment paper) and bake for about 20 mins (until golden).
