For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter. Allow the butter to cool slightly before creaming it with the sugar. Ensure the butter is at room temperature for optimal creaming and a tender cookie texture. Blanched slivered almonds can be used as an alternative. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
03
StepAdd the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and chopped blanched almonds to the creamed mixture; mix until well incorporated. (2 minutes)
04
StepGradually stir in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and pliable. (3 minutes)
05
StepRoll the dough into a rope approximately 3/4-inch thick. Cut the rope into 3-inch long pieces. (10 minutes)
06
StepShape the cookies by rolling each piece back and forth while gently pressing down with two fingers on each end until the piece is about 5-inches long. The dough piece should be plump in the center and thinner on its ends. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces. (20 minutes)
07
StepPlace the formed cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bending the ends toward each other to form a crescent 'C' shape. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges have turned golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
09
StepImmediately dust the warm cookies generously with confectioners' sugar. (5 minutes)
