Made these today, but instead of almonds I used finely chopped pecans, and omitted the powdered sugar & glitter to eliminate some of the extra sweet. They were winners, moist and light and the pecans gave a nice rich flavor that complimented the almond flavor from the extract!!! Also instead of making the cresant shape I just used a small (Tbsp size) ice-cream-like scoop which saved time.
