Almond Crescents

1. 1

   Process almonds in a food processor until ground.

2. 2

   Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add almonds and extracts; beat at low speed until blended.

3. 3

   Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition.

4. 4

   Divide dough in half; wrap each portion in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour. Roll level teaspoonfuls of dough into ropes; place ropes 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bring ends of each rope toward center to form crescents. (Keep remaining dough chilled and ready for shaping.)

5. 5

   Bake at 300u00b0 for 17 minutes; cool on baking sheets 2 minutes. Gently roll in powdered sugar, and cool completely on wire racks.
