Over the years we've had our favorite Christmas recipes in the form of candy, cookies, cakes, and more.

I used to love these little almond crescent cookies that I'd buy around the holiday season. Yes, they were store bought cookies, even came in a box.

In fact, if I remember right, they were Keebler cookies. They were oh so scrumptious.

Since I haven't seen them in awhile, I thought I'd try making my own version, only in a round cookie shape vs. a crescent. I think I have a new favorite Christmas cookie recipe.

These have a much more buttery taste than your typical sugar or almond cookie…I was going for a really buttery, almond-y flavor with these cookies. They have a crunchy edge, but depending on how long you bake them, they're very chewy in the center.

The powdered sugar is the secret to the pure yumminess of these cookies. I swear, they melt in your mouth, so de-lish!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400° F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream or mix together the softened butter and sugar.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing well.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
  • Add the finely chopped almonds, mixing well.
  • Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto an un-greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 400° F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden. Remove them from the cookie sheet, and place them on a wire rack to cool.
  • When the cookies have mostly cooled but are still slightly warm, dust them in powdered sugar, making sure each cookie has a good coating of powdered sugar.
  • Serve with a mug of ice cold milk, hot tea, or coffee.
