Crescents

Just another quickie on the cookie frontier. I had to include this one. (I can't believe i forgot it!) One of MY favorites, Nutty deliciousy tender, crumbly powdery Crescent Cookies!

1 cup butter

1/2 cup sifted powered sugar

1and 1/2 cups sifted flour

1 teas. vanilla

1 cups finely chopped nuts (walnuts are best)

Cream butter add sugar and blend thoroughly.  (Sifting the ingredients in this recipe is VERY important to it.  It will give the cookie its tenderness, DO NOT omit this step) Add flour and vanilla.

Mix well. Stir walnuts

Chill dough thoroughly. Shape small pieces into crescents. Place on

ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 350 oven 12 to 15 minutes. While still warm, toss in additional powdered sugar. Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.
