Viennese Crescents

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cream butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the confectioners’ sugar, flour, nuts, and vanilla.

Step 2

Mix thoroughly. With your fingers, shape into crescents about 2 inches long, 1/4 inch wide and thick.

Step 3

Roll each cookie in confectioners’ sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes, until just slightly golden.

Step 4

Place on a wire rack to cool and roll in more confectioners’ sugar before serving.
