This recipe came from a church cookbook. I altered a few ingredients, and everyone who tries these crescents likes the nice, nutty flavor and texture.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup ground pecans
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in extract. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in pecans.
2. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into crescents. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 300° for 18-20 minutes or until firm. Roll warm cookies in confectioners’ sugar. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 9 dozen.
