Pecan Crescent Cookies
Description
This recipe involves creaming unsalted butter with sugar until smooth, then mixing in pecans and flour to form a dough. The dough is divided and shaped into crescent forms before baking at 350°F until the bottoms show a light brown color. The warmth of the freshly baked cookies makes them ideal for rolling in powdered sugar, which is repeated after cooling to build a gentle sugary crust.
The texture is tender and crumbly rather than crisp, providing a rich nutty taste from the pecans integrated within the dough. Their delicate sweetness works well as a snack or accompaniment to a hot beverage.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2 cups pecan finely chopped
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the sugar and softened butter together.
- Next, add the chopped pecans and flour and beat until combined.
- Divide the dough into even-sized pieces, forming crescent cookie shapes. Bake at 350°F for about 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
- Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes, then roll each one in the powdered sugar while they're still warm. Allow the cookies to cool completely and roll each one in powdered sugar again. Enjoy!
