To prepare a snow covered almond crescents baked goods recipe, first you need to prepare the ingredients for the recipe. First, you'll need the following ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease and flour two 9 x 13 inch baking pans. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating after each addition until it's just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Sift in the almond extract and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Allow the cakes to cool before removing them from the pan.
