1/2 c almond paste
1/2 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1/2 c sliced almonds

Steps:

  • 5. Allow to cool. Drizzle powdered sugar and milk frosting over each crescent.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the almonds.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the almonds by hand with a knife. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • If you don't have almond extract, you can use vanilla extract instead.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
