    Pecan & Brown Sugar Crescents


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup flour
    3/4 cup lightly toasted pecans
    1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter (1/2 " pieces)
    1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
    1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
    1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
    Pinch of salt
    Powdered sugar

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325 degrees

    Combine all ingredients except powdered sugar in food processor. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal; then process continuously until dough begins to come together.

    Roll 2 teaspoonsfuls of dough between palms of hands to form a 2 & 1/2 inch long rope, tapering at ends. Place on ungreased baking sheet; curl in ends to form crescent shape. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies 1 inch apart.

    Bake cookies until just firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Cool on sheet 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. Sift powdered sugar over cookies.

    Store in airtight container at room temperature; can be made 3 days ahead.

    Makes about 30 cookies
