Ingredients

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups almond flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
1. Cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract and almond flour until well combined.
3. Add all-purpose flour and salt; stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a log and shape into a crescent.
5. Place crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden on the bottom.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently roll in powdered sugar.
8. Once fully cool, dust again for a snowy finish.
Notes
Be sure the butter is fully softened for the best creaming texture.
Let cookies cool slightly before rolling in powdered sugar to prevent melting.
