Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup vegetable shortening
- ¾ cup white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the shortening and sugar until it is light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
- Mix in the eggs, vanilla extact, and almond extract.
- Add half of the flour mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
- Add the remaining half of the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
- Divide the dough into approximately 30 balls. Roll each dough ball into a 3.5" log and gently curve the log to form a crescent shape. Place each crescent cookie onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake crescent cookies for 8–10 minutes—until just golden and the cookies start to crack on top.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
