Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup ground almonds, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
In another bowl, cream 0.5 cup softened butter with 0.25 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then gradually add the flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Shape dough into small crescents (about 1 tablespoon each) and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Step 5
Let cool for 5 minutes, then roll in remaining 0.25 cup powdered sugar while still warm.
