- 1 cup blanched finely ground almonds
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 1 - 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, almonds, sugar, honey, almond extract, egg, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gradually add in the flour to form a dough (knead with clean hands if necessary-it can be sticky). Refrigerate dough for about 10 minutes, or until it is slightly firm.
- Pour seeds into a small bowl. Pinch off a walnut sized ball of dough and roll it in the sesame seeds to coat. Then, take the ball and roll it between your palms into about 2 in long pieces, tapering the ends .
- Place side by side on a cookie sheet , curving them into crescent shapes. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown, being careful not to burn.
