Ingredients
1/2 lb butter
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for coating
2 cups flour
1 cup ground almonds, pecans or walnuts
1 tsp vanilla
Preparation
Preheat over to 300
Cream the butter, then add the confectioners’ sugar, flour, nuts and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Shape with your fingers into delicate crescents about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide or into small balls about an inch in diameter. Roll in confectioners’ sugar and bake on ungreased cookie sheets for about 15-20 minutes, until just faintly browned. Cool, then roll in more confectioners’ sugar before serving. Makes about 50 cookies.
