Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp ginger powder
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour , sifted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg yolk

Directions:

Combine the cinnamon, sugar, and powdered ginger in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
Blend the remaining ingredients (with a quarter of the cinnamon/sugar mixture) with a wooden spoon. Make small balls of thick dough, each one a bit smaller than a golf ball (about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 in diameter).
Squeeze the center of each ball and wrap the dough around your finger; shape the two ends into points and make each ball into a small crescent. Place each crescent on a non-stick or buttered cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until brown (about 15 minutes).
