The ingredients needed to make Greek Almond Crescent Cookies:
- Prepare ground almonds

Alternatively, roll the walnut-sized piece of dough into a log and then curl the ends in and pinch slightly to make a half-moon or crescent shape. Shape level tablespoonfuls of dough into crescent-shapes. Insert whole clove into center of each. My favorite cookies are Amygdalota (Αμυγδαλωτά): delicate Greek almond cookies that are slightly crisp on the outside and chewy and sweet on the inside.
Steps to make Greek Almond Crescent Cookies:
- Spread ground almonds in a shallow pan and toast in a 350F degrees oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
- In a bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy, then add the 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar and egg yolk, mixing well. Stir in brandy or vanilla and almonds.
- In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder, then gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, blending until smooth.
- Pinch off walnut-size pieces of dough and shape into crescents. Place on ungreased baking sheets, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in a 325F degree oven for 30 minutes or until very lightly browned, then place baking sheets on racks and let cookies cool for 5 minutes.
- Sift about half the 1-1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar over wax paper and transfer cookies to it. Sift the remaining 3/4 to 1 cup powdered sugar over top to cover cookies. Let cookies stand in the sugar until they cool completely, then store in a tightly covered container.
They are a nice sized cookie as they expand quite a bit in the oven. My only change was cutting back the almond extract by half. I used pure almond extract but still find it too strong to use more than that. These Almond Crescent Cookies are really easy and quick to make, no refrigerating the dough. Just whip the butter until fluffy beat in the sugar.
