Delicious Buttery Pecan Crescents

Submitted by chloethecook

"These are buttery pecan cookies. When cooking them, you want them to have only a very light brown color otherwise they will be crunchy and hard. They would make nice cookies for a Tea Party, which is in fact what I am planning for mine! : ) I don't remember how many cookies it makes, it is just an estimate."
