Christmas Crescents

You have had cookies similar to these before, usually in the shape of balls.
I believe that the unsalted butter, the unbleached flour and the amount of sugar make the difference, so I strongly suggest following the recipe exactly as is.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened
5 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon water
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped pecans
Sifted confectioner's sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325° F.
Cream butter; add sugar, vanilla and water.
Sift together the flour and salt; stir into mixture until well mixed.
Add pecans and mix thoroughly.
Using portions the size of a walnut, roll into crescent shapes.
Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
Cool slightly.
Roll in confectioner's sugar while still warm.

Makes Approximately 4 Dozen Small Cookies
