âIâve been making these festive crescents for 30 years,â says Kay Brantley of Shaver Lake, California. âThey freeze well and look pretty served on Christmas dishes.â Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup finely chopped salted peanuts |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in water and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in peanuts. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
2. Shape rounded tablespoonfuls of dough into 2-1/2-in. crescents. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until set (do not brown).
3. Roll warm cookies in confectioners' sugar; cool completely on wire racks. Roll cooled cookies again in confectioners' sugar. Yield: about 3 dozen.
