First let’s make dough. Melt the butter and cool a little.
Combine flour, butter and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly. Add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, kneading the dough thoroughly after adding water. Once the dough starts to come together, stop adding water. You should get a soft elastic dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave to rest.
Let’s prepare the filling. Mix almond flour and almond nibs.
Add sugar and liqueur. Now with wet hands, roll the resulting mass into small oblong cylinders about 1.5 cm long. Place them on a plate.
Divide the entire dough into small balls the size of large hazelnuts.
Roll out each ball until translucent. You can roll out the dough directly on the counter without flouring or buttering. The dough will be very easy to roll out and fold.
Place the filling on one edge and wrap it in the dough. Punch down the resulting cookies, stretching them slightly towards the edges, trim off the excess dough. Shape the cookies into a crescent shape and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Make all the cookies in the same way.
Bake cookies about 16 minutes.
Prepare the syrup. Mix honey and water. Add liqueur if desired.
While the cookies are still hot, dip each cookie in the syrup and then roll in powdered sugar. Cool and serve.
