Walnut Crescent Cookies
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 100 g butter
- 100 g ground walnuts
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 vanilla paste
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 200-220 g flour

Instructions
How to make WALNUT CRESCENT COOKIES:
- Mix the soft, room temperature butter with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg yolks one at a time and mix well.
- Split the vanilla pod with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds with the blade and add them to the butter cream.
- Add the ground walnuts and salt and mix gently.
- Incorporate the flour by hand and mix until you get a homogeneous dough, easy to work. If the dough is too crumbly, add another tablespoon of water (or two) if needed to bind it better.
- Place the dough on a floured board and form into sticks and them cut into 4-5 cm (1.5 to 2 inch) long pieces.
- Shape each piece into a little horn. Repeat until the dough is finished.
- You should get around 80 little horns, depending on how thick you make them.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C degrees (356 Fahrenheit) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the crescents on the tray and bake for 15-16 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool. After a few minutes, roll them in powdered sugar and serve.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight tin for up to 3-4 weeks.
- Enjoy!
