Kifli Almond Cookies

An Austrian and Hungarian favorite, kifli are small crescent moon-shaped cookies. They’re made with almonds, flour, butter, sugar, vanilla and a bit of powdered sugar. Each sweet cookie is perfectly balanced between buttery and almondy with a delicate, crumbly texture that practically melts in your mouth, similar to shortbread. They are, in a word, scrumptious. 

Each cookie is big enough for about two to three dainty nibbles, or one big gobbling mouthful. Share them, if your will is strong enough.
