Christmas is just around the corner, and you've got a ton of cookies to bake, so you'd better get crackin' with this, our holiday cookie of the day. Seriously, you should've started baking these the day after Halloween.

You'll be over the moon for the cardamom crescents.
Ha ha, yeah, we actually just said that.
But you know what's really great about these boomerangs of almond-y goodness? They're also CIA-worthy disguises. Need to escape your great-aunt's 30-minute account of how eggnog makes her lumbago act up? Hold one of these babies under your nose and you're no longer her favorite young person--you're Col. Everett Ghent, the country-club horse breeder with a deadly secret.
Or did your pal forget to pack his costume for the kids at this afternoon's holiday party? The handy Cardamom Crescent Cookie-slash-Santa moustache lets you fill in for St. Nick for a day.
Or you can disguise yourself as ... well, basically anyone with a white moustache who likes good cookies.
