This recipe calls for pecans, but there's no
reason why you couldn't substitute walnuts.
Pecan Crescent Cookies
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely-chopped pecans
powdered sugar
Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla.
Gradually add the flour. Stir in the pecans.
Shape into logs 2-1/2" long and about 1/2" to
3/4" thick in the middle, tapering on the ends.
Bend into crescents. Place 1" apart on an
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 F. for 20 to
22 minutes, or until set and lightly browned on
the bottoms. Let stand 20 minutes before
removing to wire racks. Dust with powdered sugar.
Makes 6 dozen.
