Mix all the ingredients except almonds thoroughly.
Roll in a long roll. Cut off pieces about 1 inch long. Shape each one into a crescent and roll it in the ground almonds
Place on the prepared sheet. Bake at 300º for 20 minutes.
I use a bittersweet chocolate frosting for these crescents.
Bittersweet Chocolate Frosting:
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 Tbsp. sweet butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups confectioner's sugar
Put the first three ingredients in a saucepan and stir over low heat until they are all blended. DO NOT BOIL. Add enough of sugar to give the desired consistency. Stir and cook for a few minutes, then use the frosting on both ends of the crescents
