Honey almond crescents

Honey almond crescents are a delightful and subtly sweet treat that combines the rich flavors of butter, honey, and almonds. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a festive gathering or a simple tea-time snack. The following recipe will guide you through the process of making these delicious crescents, ensuring they turn out perfectly every time.

Ingredients:

1 cup almonds
120g
1 cup butter
220g
1/4 cup honey
60g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Almonds:
- Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you don't want to make almond butter; you want a fine almond meal.
- Set the ground almonds aside.
3. Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract to the butter and continue to mix until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the ground almonds to the butter mixture, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Slowly incorporate the flour, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, you can add a little more flour to reach the right consistency.
4. Shape the Crescents:
- Take a small amount of dough (about the size of a walnut) and roll it into a ball in your hands.
- Shape the dough ball into a small log and then curve it gently into a crescent shape.
- Place each crescent on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the crescents are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times can vary.
6. Cool:
- Remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the crescents to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve or Store:
- Once completely cooled, the crescents can be served immediately. They can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:

- To enhance the almond flavor, lightly roast the almonds before grinding them.

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough.

- If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before shaping the crescents.

- Use a food processor to finely grind the almonds for a smoother consistency in the dough.

- The cookies can be dusted with powdered sugar after baking for an additional touch of sweetness.

Honey almond crescents are simple yet elegant cookies that are sure to impress with their nutty flavor and delicate sweetness. By following these tips and the step-by-step instructions, you can easily create a batch of delicious cookies that are perfect for sharing with family and friends. Enjoy the process and savor each bite of these delightful crescents!
