PECAN CRESCENT COOKIES



Pecan Crescent Cookies image

A melt-in-your-mouth cookie. My childhood friend's recipe from her grandmother. I've never measured the 12 tablespoons powdered sugar into cups. Measuring out each tablespoons so reminds me of my childhood.

PECAN CRESCENT COOKIES



Pecan Crescent Cookies image

These sugary, nutty little nuggets have been a Christmas staple in my house since the late 70s. These tempting cookies were nearly impossible to sneak a pre-holiday nibble of, because even one bite would yield a trail of powdered sugar all over the kitchen, your shirt and your mouth!

Time 1h

Yield about 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour, scooped
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a separate large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in 4 teaspoons of water and the vanilla. Slowly mix in the flour mixture and finally, the pecans.
  • Break off tablespoonful pieces of dough, roll each to form a crescent shape and arrange evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets. (You'll have leftover dough for a second batch.)
  • Bake until slightly golden on the bottoms and edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Watch very carefully--better to undercook than overcook. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Put the powdered sugar in a shallow plate. Once cooled, roll each cookie in an ample amount of the sugar.

PECAN CRESCENTS

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Pecan     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 8 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pecans (4 ounces)
2 sticks salted butter, softened
1 (1-pound) box confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
Special equipment: a pastry cloth

Steps:

  • Pulse pecans in a food processor until finely ground (being careful not to grind to a paste). Beat butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, then add 5 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth. Beat in water and vanilla, then flour and nuts, beating on low speed until blended well. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • On a lightly floured pastry cloth, roll level teaspoons of dough into 3-inch ropes, tapering ends. Curve each roll, as formed, into a crescent and arrange crescents 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Bake in batches in middle of oven until pale golden, 12 to 14 minutes. While cookies are baking, sift remaining confectioners sugar into a shallow bowl. As cookies are done, transfer, a few at a time, to sugar and gently toss to coat, tapping off excess. (Sugar will melt slightly onto hot cookies.) Cool cookies on a rack. If you want sugar coating to be white and powdery, toss cookies in confectioners sugar again when cool
