Simple almond crescent cookies with vanilla

I love these almond crescent cookies for their buttery flavour and super crisp texture. Finished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar they taste just delicious! And they are so easy to make. Literally, you can make them at the last minute.

Grudzień to dla mnie miesiąc pieczenia, dlatego na blogu nie mogło zabraknąć tego przepisu. To bez wątpienia jedne z moich ulubionych ciasteczek. A teraz, kiedy święta są tuż za rogiem, przepis może się przydać. 🙂 

These almond cookies are super easy to make. The recipe uses only a few ingredients and you don’t  need any special equipment, as you will shape them with your hands.   

I used vanilla extract to make my cookies, but if you prefer you could use almond extract instead.  

How to store your almond crescent cookies? 

Once baked, let them cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store your cookies in an airtight food container at room temperature. They will keep for a few days. If you want to prepare your cookies ahead of time, I recommend sprinkling them with powdered sugar just before serving.
