Description

Delicious chocolate-dipped almond crescent cookies that are gluten-free and perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (113 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour (480 grams)
  • 1 cup almond flour (or finely ground almonds) (96 grams)
  • 12 oz. dark chocolate melting wafers, chopped candy coating or bars, or chips (or milk chocolate, and/or white chocolate)
  • Sprinkles (for decorating, if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place 2 cups unsalted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, and cream together at medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add 4 cups gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour, then blend 1 cup almond flour.
  4. Refrigerate dough for at least 15-20 minutes, or until it is easier to handle.
  5. Using about 1 tablespoon dough for each cookie, shape into crescents, and place onto baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 14-18 minutes or until just set and very lightly golden.
  7. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
  8. Melt 12 oz. dark chocolate melting wafers, chopped candy coating or bars, or chips according to the package directions in the microwave or over a double boiler.
  9. Dip one end of each cookie in chocolate, then decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Place cookies onto wax paper until chocolate is firm.
