Almond Crescent Cookies
Hi Everyone, I'm sharing this Almond Crescent Cookies recipe which is from Eric's mom's side of the family.
I give Eric's mom credit for making these cookies and sharing the recipe with me to have for our family.
These cookies are perfect for the Christmas holiday season and are a staple this time of year. Eric's mom does such a great job making them.
They are definitely a weakness for my husband and they will quickly disappear if we have a plate of them nearby.
They go very well with tea or coffee and would be a perfect addition for the holiday dessert table.
