Crescent Cakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup finely ground almonds
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
• 2 drops almond extract
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions:

Combine almonds, flour, sugar, and extract until thoroughly mixed. With hands, work in butter and egg yolk until well-blended. Chill dough. Preheat oven to 325º F. Take pieces of dough (about walnut-size) and shape them into crescents. Place on a greased sheet (they don't spread out when they cook so you can put them close together if you want). Bake for about 20 minutes.
