Today. I thought I would make another cookie that I really liked making because it's so simple. Similar to a cookie I've made in the past, which was a pecan butterball cookie. This is called the Walnut Crescent cookie. It only has five ingredients. Again, no egg. So let's get started. The first thing I'm going to do is add my two sticks of butter and I have soften this so it is ready to go in my mixer And by the way, I have preheated my oven to 350. I'm going to blend this for just a moment. 67 The next thing I'm going to do is take my powdered sugar and I'm going to sift it. Now, I happen to have two sifter, so I'm going to use each of those separately. This is three quarters of a cup of powdered sugar This is sifting the powdered sugar and adding it to the butter. And sometimes you get little pieces of powdered sugar, and that's what you're trying to avoid, is the hard pieces in your cookies. All right. I'm going to mix it. To this I'm going to add two teaspoons of vanilla. And again, remember, I love a little heavy pour. The next thing I want to do is add one cup of ground walnuts. I've already play some walnuts into my grinder. And I do have a cup measure on here. So I'm going to grind it to make one cup I'm at one cup and I'll pour it in. And my final ingredient is two cups of flour that I'm going to sift into this mixture. I put my towel on top of my mixer because I don't want the flour to get all over the place. And I'm just going to mix it that much because now I'm going to need the dough. First, I'll wash my hands If the dough seems sticky, you can put it into the refrigerator to harden it a bit. Because our next step is just to make the crescent, and that's it. You're supposed to put these cookies on a butter cookie sheet. Again, I like to use the silicone pads. So now you take about a tablespoon of dough and you roll it into a shape like that and put into a crescent shape. How easy is that? They're going to cook in the oven for about 13 to 16 minutes. Again, I have preheat the oven to 350. Halfway through. I will turn them. After these have cooked and cooled you're supposed to sift powdered sugar on the top. I don't like to just sift it on top. I like to put them in a container of powdered sugar and let them soak up the sugar a bit. And it's a great way to store them. So that's what we'll be doing. OK, so it's halfway through and it's going to turn the cookies. This time I'm going to put them in for another eight minutes. OK. These look great. They are a bit brown around the edges. And I'm going to let them cool for about a minute just so they harden up a bit and are easier to get off of the cookie sheet. How easy was that? They have baked and they are perfect to come off the cookie sheet. Next, I'm going to let them cool before I put powdered sugar on them. OK, so I've taken all of the cookies out of the oven. I've made approximately four dozen cookies. One thing I have noticed is that these are really homemade and I'm really OK with that. They're not perfect, but they, I'm sure, taste great. We love them. What we do next is take the cookies and put them into powdered sugar. And then I place them into a container. I want to remind you to like us, subscribe to us and also share your recipes. I love trying new ones. So that's it. These are great. Some of our favorites. Fun to give as gifts and also for the holidays. Hope you enjoy.

Easy Holiday Cookies: Walnut Shortbread Cookies
Print the recipe here:
Ingredients
3/4 pound (340g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup (125g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (75g) confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups (430g) all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups (180g) ground walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C
Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
Add the butter, salt, vanilla, and both sugars to the bowl of a tabletop mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low and then increase the speed to high. Beat for 3-4 minutes until fluffy.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour. Beat until combined and then add the walnuts. Beat until combined and until a dough is formed.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out to a quarter inch in thickness.
Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place the cookies on the prepared baking trays. Leave some space between each cookie so that they do not stick together during baking.
Gather the scraps together and keep rolling them out and cutting cookies until you run out of dough.
Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with granulated sugar and chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden.
Serve with Greek Coffee.
Notes
Make-Ahead Freezer Instructions: Once the cookies are shaped and on the baking trays they can be frozen up to 3 months. Wrap the trays tightly in plastic wrap or once the cookies are frozen solid transfer them to freezer-safe bags or containers.
