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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

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!
