- Yields:
-
20 cookies
- Serves:
- 20
ingredients
- 1 cup almonds, blanched finely ground
- 1⁄2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 - 1 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour, start with 1 cup only
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1⁄2 cup sesame seeds
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Put ground nuts, sugar, 1 cup flour, almond extract, egg, cinnamon, and butter in mixing bowl and mix well.
- KNEAD mixture into a dough (it will be slightly sticky).
- Pour seeds into pie pan.
- Pinch off walnut size pieces of dough (IF dough is too sticky or difficult to handle add the remaining flour).
- Roll dough pieces in seeds to coat, and then, between the palms of your hands, roll pieces into about 2 inch long cylindrical shapes, thicker in the middle, tapering at the ends.
- Place side by side onto lightly greased cookie sheet, curving slightly into crescents.
- Bake in oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. I would start checking after 15 minutes as 30 seems too long but that is what it says.

Delicious cookies! The sesame seeds are astonishingly strong at first bite, but after chewing twice the almond flavor starts to develop. Very fragrant! I used 1/3 millet and 2/3 sweet rice flour to be gluten free, and it worked just perfect with exactly one cup of flour. Thanks to you co-unrulie for posting this little jewel! Made for ZWT6 NA*ME for the Unrulies Under The Influence.
