       1  c             Unsalted butter
     2/3  c             Confectioner's sugar -- sifted,
                        - plus more for rolling
   1      ts            Vanilla extract
     1/2  ts            Almond extract
   1      c             Almonds -- coarsely chopped
   2 1/3  c             All-purpose flour -- sifted

Heat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cream
together butter and 2/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in extracts,
then add almonds. Stir in flour and beat until well mixed.

Divide dough in half and roll each half into a log 1" in diameter.
Cut each log into 3/4" pieces, and roll each piece into a cylinder 2"
long. Place cylinders 1 to 2" apart on baking sheets, and form into
crescents.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let crescents
cool, then roll in additional sugar.
