5. Roll about a tablespoon of dough into a log and shape it into a crescent.
6. Place the shaped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.

Notes
These cookies are best dusted with powdered sugar while still warm.
Make sure not to overbake to preserve their delicate texture.
Using blanched almond flour helps create a smoother cookie.
