VANILLA ALMOND CRESCENTS
I grew up with mom making these treats only at Christmas. I was the one who got to taste the ones that broke. These are Extremely Fragile. But they are great. I have gotten compliments from people who don't like almonds. When I moved out of moms, I had to BEG her for the recipe. It is from an authentic German cookbook that Mom has had since she was a young woman. She had to translate ingredients and the measurements for me. The almonds need to be blanched and slivered. Prep time doesn't include the time to Blanche and sliver the almonds if you buy them with the skins on. At the end of the directions, is the directions for making vanilla sugar if you do not know how.

Steps:
- In a food processor, process the almonds and sugar until the almonds are ground very finely. Cut the butter into a few pieces and add it with the motor running. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the flour and sprinkle the salt on top. Pulse it just until the flour is incorporated.
- Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press it into a thick disk and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 2 hours.
- For the topping, stir together the sugar and cinnamon until uniform in color.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Divide the dough into 8 portions. Work with 1 section at a time, keeping the remainder of the dough refrigerated. Knead the dough between floured hands until malleable. Pinch off a portion of the dough and roll it into a 1-inch-round ball.
- On a lightly floured counter, roll each ball into a cylinder with tapered ends, about 3 inches long by 1/2 inch thick. Form each cylinder into a crescent shape and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. The cookies will require two cookie sheets, one for the middle rack in the oven and one for the lower one.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until set but not brown. For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period.
- Cool the cookies on the sheets for 10 minutes. While they are still warm, use a small angled metal spatula or pancake turner to lift them from the sheets and dip them, one at a time, in the cinnamon sugar, turning gently to coat all over. Finish cooling the cookies on wire racks.
- To store, place the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month or freeze for as many as several months.

Steps:
- Pastry: For the pastry, mix together the flour and yeast in a medium bowl.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in the egg yolks and sour cream and mix well.
- The mixture will still be crumbly.
- Form the dough into a ball using your hands, working it as little as possible.
- The less you knead, the more tender the pastry will be.
- The dough will be tacky.
- Wrap it in waxed paper and chill it for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare the FILLING by combining the ground almonds and sugar in a small bowl.
- Beat together the egg whites and salt until stiff, but not dry, and carefully fold them into the nut mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- When the dough is thoroughly chilled, divide it into three balls.
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll out three circles about 1/8" thick.
- Work on a well-floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Cut each circle into eight pie-shaped wedges and spread the wedges with the filling.
- Starting at the wide end, roll each wedge up like a little croissant and then pull the ends into a curve to form a"horn.
- "Make sure the point is on the bottom so the"horns" will not open up while baking.
- Place the almond crescents on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for about 30- 40 min, until golden and puffed.

Rooted in tradition, these Viennese Almond Crescents are deeply reminiscent of the cookies your grandma use to make-it might even be the same exact recipe. All it takes is one bite of these light and airy cookies and memories of Christmases past will come flooding back. Dusted with powdered sugar like fresh fallen snow, we think it's almost impossible to eat just one of these melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. This traditional Austrian dessert can be enjoyed after dinner with a hot cup of coffee and can be the standout treat on your Christmas cookie tray. The secret for the delicate crumb of these cookies? Almond meal-try making your own in a food processor with sliced almonds and sugar. For a flavor boost, try adding a splash of almond extract to the dough. Nothing compares to these sweet little crescent moons, and once you try this recipe, we think you'll be making these for many Christmases to come.

- Preheat the oven to 350° and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Scoop 12 rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, roll each ball into a 4-inch rope, then shape into a crescent; return to the baking sheet.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Sift the 1 1/2 cups of confectioners’ sugar into a shallow bowl. Dredge the warm cookies in the confectioners’ sugar; return to the rack and let cool completely. Repeat the baking and dredging with the remaining dough. Dust the cookies with additional confectioners’ sugar before serving.
