    List of Ingredients




    2 cups flour
    1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    1 pinch salt
    2/3 cup butter, softened
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    2 egg yolks
    1 tablespoon grated orange rind
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    2 tablespoons honey
    3/4 cup pine nuts

    Recipe



    In a bowl stir together flour, nutmeg and salt; set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a mixer bowl, combine butter & brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in orange rind & vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until thoroughly combined. Using about 1 Tablespoon dough for each cookie, shape dough into a strand about 3 inches long, then curve into a crescent. Place crescents about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Heat honey in a small pan over low heat until fluid & warm to the touch. Lightly brush honey over the tops and sides of crescents, then liberally coat with pine nuts, pressing them in gently. Bake until cookies are golden (10-12 minutes). Let cool on baking sheets 1-2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to complete cooling. Makes 30.
