Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Beat in eggs and extracts for 30 seconds, then add half of the flour mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, then add remaining half of the flour mixture.

Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookies, then roll each scoop of cookie dough to form a 3.5″ log and curve the log to form a crescent shape. Place each rolled cookie onto the prepared baking mats.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just lightly golden and cookies start to crack on top.

Allow cookies to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
