Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. Gradually mix in the flour until a smooth dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.

  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

  6. Sprinkle the ground walnuts or almonds over the dough, gently pressing them into the surface.

  7. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into triangles or wedges, similar to pizza slices.

  8. Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle to form a crescent shape. Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

  11. Dust the warm cookies with confectioners' sugar.
