30-60 minutes
ingredients
1 pound unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 tablespoons cognac or brandy
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups flour (more as needed)
1 cup chopped almonds, pecans or walnuts
additional confectioners' sugar
directions
Beat butter and sugar until very fluffy, almost white. Add egg yolks, and beat. Add vanilla, almond flavoring and cognac; beat.
Mix baking powder with a little flour, and add to butter mixture. (This distributes baking powder evenly.) Add nuts.
Add flour, a cup at a time, until you have a medium-thick dough that isn't sticky and feels like Play-Doh. Form into crescent shapes.
Bake 20 to 22 minutes at 350 degrees F, to a pale, golden brown. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar. When cool, dust again. (The first coating ensures the sugar sticks.)

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
