Pecan Crescents
- Ready In:
- 42mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
25 crescents
- Serves:
- 25
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter, room temperature
- 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup sifted flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans, finely ground
- confectioners' sugar, for coating
directions
- Cream butter and sugar in large bowl.
- Add vanilla and blend well.
- Add sifted flour and mix thoroughly.
- Add finely ground pecans and blend.
- Shape into crescents (use 1 tsp full) and place on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake in 350-degree F oven for about 12 minutes.
- Roll in confectioners' sugar while still warm. I use a ziplock bag for this - Put a bit of 10x sugar in bag, place in cookie and gently toss. These cookies break and crumble fairly easily, so very gently coat!
- Enjoy! These freeze very well. Just remove from freezer well ahead of serving time and allow to defrost at room temperature.

I've enjoyed baking and cooking since I was a little girl. I wish I had more time in the kitchen, but I keep a busy pace here in NYC. I became a premium member Jan. 1, 2009 as holiday gift to myself in hopes of amalgamating my favorite recipes and discovering new ones all in one place!
