1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup Land O Lakes Butter, softened

1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 package (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup), melted
Powdered sugar


Heat oven to 350 F. In large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and butter. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg and almond extract, continue beating until well mixed, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 1 to 2 minutes.

Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll balls into 2-inch ropes. Shape into crescents. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cookies do not brown. Cool completely. Dip half of each cookie into chocolate. Sprinkle remaining half with powdered sugar. Refrigerate until set.

Makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookies
