Great!! I only left the dough in for 1 hour and it was hard to form the crescents. It got easier as it warmed up.

10+ stars! We made 1/3 batch and got 9 heavenly cookies. Forming them to crescents were not easy, so we piped them out to form snowflakes, topping them with confectioners' sugar and some seasonal green and red colored sugar. The almond flavor really comes through in these little gems. They taste much like butter cookies, but with a fabulous almond flavor. Think Almond flavored Lorna Doones but better, butterier, creamier. I think if you do the piping method, you really don't have to chill the dough but 30 minutes or so, if you can even wait that long! LOL. I could go on, but I have to go hug my Buddha for making them. YUMMY!!! ~~~Oh Yea! (almost forgot), THANKS LAINEY, FOR POSTING THIS FAB RECIPE!

There was no chance of making mine in to crescents as I chilled for just 40 mins. I just placed little blobs of the dough on the cookie sheet. The first round of cookies got burnt as someone phoned to wish for Xmas just at the critical time. But the second bunch and the third were great. Mine look like the ones in the picture. I mixed a bit of green food color into one batch - it made for an interesting presentation. Thanks Lainey.
