Nut Crescent Cookies

- 40 minutes to make
- Serves 20
These cookies are light, delicate, and so delicious. They make a great light dessert or part of a cookie tray.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound sweet butter shopping list
- 6 Tbsp. sugar shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract shopping list
- 1 tsp. almond extract shopping list
- 2 cups flour shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. salt shopping list
- 2 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts shopping list
- confectioner's sugar for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Cream the butter and sugar.
- Add the extracts and the flour and salt.
- Mix in the nuts until just blended -- do not overbeat. This is a batter that does not like being handled too much.
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in waxed paper, and chill one hour.
- Take one tsp of the batter and lightly roll in your hands to form a crescent shape. Keep repeating and placing these, with room to spread a bit, on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for about 40 minutes. Keep an eye on them not to burn but they will rise a bit and turn lightly golden. I like using Silpats on my cookie sheets for these.
- These cookies are delicate so handle with care when removing to cooling racks.
- When cooled dust with confectioner's sugar.
- These cookies freeze nicely, if they last that long.
