Submitted by Sydney Mike

"This holiday cookie recipe was found on the internet at allrecipes.com. Preparation time does not include the time for the cookie dough to set for 2 hours."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 15

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup vanilla sugar
• 2 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, chopped

directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter & granulated sugar, then beat in the egg yolks & vanilla extract, before gradually beating in the flour.
2. Form the dough into a ball & let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
4. To form the crescents, roll about 1 tablespoon of the dough in the palms of your hands, continuing to roll & form a rope about 3 inches long & 1/2 inch thick. Bend the rope to form a crescent, then repeat with the remaining dough, while placing the crescents on ungreased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart.
5. Bake about 10-12 minutes (Cookies will STILL be white in color.), then let them cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes to prevent breaking.
6. While cookies are still warm, carefully roll each one in vanilla sugar, before letting them cool completely.
7. In a double boiler, melt chocolate over low heat, & when cookies are cool, dip one tip of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then set on waxed paper to dry.

I have made these for years. In our house, it’s not Christmas without them! (and they taste like something out of a bakery)
