Ingredients
1 pound (455g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (135g) confectioner's sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange blossom water
170g almonds
4 and 1/2 cups (625g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
orange blossom water for spraying after baked
confectioner's sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F 180 °C. Line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper.

Place the almonds into a pan and bake them in the oven for 7-10 minutes until fragrant. Allow the almonds to cool completely and then place them into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.

Add the butter, salt, sugar, vanilla, and orange blossom water into the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment.

Beat on low speed and then increase the speed to high. Beat until fluffy. About 8-10 minutes.

Place the flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl and whisk together.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer while it is beating on low speed. Add the almonds and beat together until incorporated. Beat together until a dough is formed.

Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and lightly knead together until incorporated. Many times crumbs and almonds end up at the bottom of the mixing bowl so this step incorporates them back into the dough.

Form the dough into balls (about 30-40g each) and set on the pans.

Leave them as balls and gently press the center down with your index finger to form an indentation.

Alternatively form the cookies into crescents. Roll each round ball of dough into a rope and then bend into a crescent. Place on the baking trays.

Bake the cookies on the center rack for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Spray the cookies lightly with orange blossom water as soon as they come out of the oven. This step is optional.

Once the cookies have slightly cooled, dust them with a generous amount of confectioner's sugar.

Serve with Greek Coffee. Kali Orexi!
