Almond Horns

I was looking forward to trying these cookies..but they didn't turn out the way that they were supposed to! I could not get them to roll together to make the "u" shape that they wanted me to make them in. So I just made a regular cookie!

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting

1 large egg

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract

1 cup whole raw almonds, toasted and finely ground in a food processor

Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

Put butter and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg and extracts, reduce speed to low. Mix in flour mixture and almonds until just combined. Wrap dough in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a 4 inch long log; gently shape into a horseshoe. (Good Luck!) Repeat with remaining dough. Transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment.

Bake cookies until pale golden, about 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely. Sift confectioners' sugar over cookies.

Enjoy!
