I wanted to make traditional Almond Crescents with ground almonds but I did not have any. I substituted Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean Flour instead of the ground almonds. The cookies turned out amazing and my husband loves them. Low Cal/Carb/Sugar.
Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and beat until light.
Mix in almond extract, vanilla and Garbanzo bean flour.
Add unbleached white flour to creamed mixture and mix thoroughly. You can chill if you want.
Scoop dough with small ice cream scoop. Divide each scoop into four and make balls or crescents. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 7 - 9 minutes depending on your oven. You just want them to set and be a little golden on the bottom.
Sprinkle as soon as they come out of the oven with confectioners sugar.
