Instructions
Preheat the oven to 320F (160C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and orange zest in a small bowl and make a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 14 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a small cylinder with tapered ends, and then shape into a crescent shape (note: the dough can be a bit crumbly and can crack a bit - make sure to warm it up well between your hands before giving it the crescent shape - see note 1). Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet. They won't spread in the oven, so don't worry about keeping too much distance between them.

Note 1: Don’t worry if the dough it’s a bit oily. It’s pretty normal, as the natural oil in the almond butter and almond flour will come out when you work the dough.
Note 2: Perfecting the baking time is essential to make buttery, soft cookies. Make sure you keep an eye on them as they bake and remove them just after they set and the tips become golden. If you keep them in the oven for too long, they can become too hard and lose their perfect texture.
How to store: Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze for up to 1 month. If you leave these cookies for a few days on the counter, the vanilla sugar can be absorbed a bit by the cookies. You can sprinkle some extra powder sugar on top to freshen them up after a few days.
