Almond Crescent Cookies

[Sister_Gothique]

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened(I typically use margarine, tastes better, but there isn't a huge difference)
1 cup finely ground almonds
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
     *cat sits in the middle of my paper*
3 drops almond extract
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon honey

Combine the flour, sugar, almonds and almond extract in a large bowl. Add the butter, honey and egg yolk and mix well. Cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour and a half to two hours.

When that's done, grab a handful (plum-sized amount or so) and mold it into a crescent(or pretty much whatever the hell shape you feel like). The dough itself is really crumbly and you kind of have to work it a bit (you really get your hands into it, so makes great fun for kids. Great messes too).

Put them on a well-greased cookie sheet and bake them at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Makes about 12 mondo cookies or a fuck-ton of little ones.
