Almond Filling Almond Crescents

Last updated on September 19, 2022 By Anna 7 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

Back when I was obsessed with Rainbow Cookies, I bought different types of almond products to use in the colorful little cakes. One of the products was Solo brand almond filling. It worked okay in the Rainbows, but we preferred almond paste over almond filling and ended up with an extra can. To use it up, I made Almond Crescents.

Solo Almond Crescents

This recipe is from Solo and calls for a full can of almond filling. The filling plus almond extract gives the cookies a pretty strong almond flavor.  And thanks to the filling, they are soft and tender crescents rather than crumbly and sandy textured crescents.  They're good and fairly unique!  If you or someone you know loves almond flavored things, they are perfect.

Ingredients
 

  • 8 oz salted butter 230 grams**
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar 70 grams
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 can 12.5 oz Solo Almond Cake and Pastry Filling
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 280 grams
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in almond extract and almond filling until blended.
  • With a spoon or scraper, stir in the flour to make a dough. It will be a little sticky and will require chilling, so cover and chill for a few hours until it is firm enough to shape.
  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Dust hands with flour if you need to (I didn't). Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into small tapered crescents.
  • Arrange about 2 ½ inches apart on baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cookies are firm and lightly browned.
  • Let cool on baking sheets on wire racks 1 minute.
  • Remove from baking sheets and cool on racks. When Almond Crescents are cool, roll them in confectioners' sugar.

Notes

I recommend salted butter since there's no salt in the dough, but if you have to use unsalted then you should probably add about ½ to ¾ teaspoon of salt.
