Walnut Crescent Cookies

This was a new recipe I found online that I tried for Christmas cookies this year. I will definitely be making these again. They were easy to make and really good. They are buttery and delicate and rolled in powdered sugar.

Makes 4 dozen crescents

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup of ground walnuts

2 cups all-purpose flour

powdered sugar for topping

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and walnuts. Add 2 cups of flour and combine. Break off tbsp sized pieces and shape into crescents. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are set and have just started to take on color. Cool completely and then roll into the powdered sugar until they are coated. Store in airtight containers.
