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
