Walnut Christmas Crescents

7. 10. 2025

Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth nutty cookies are easy to make and taste divine. Sprinkled with powdered sugar, they are an ideal treat for the Christmas tree.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup ground walnuts
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup butter
2 tablespoons vanilla sugar (for sprinkling)
4 tablespoons powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Method

Combine the sifted flour, sifted icing sugar, and ground walnuts in a large bowl. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
Grate the cooled butter and add to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients by hand until you have a dough. It will take about 2-3 minutes.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the extra powdered sugar with the vanilla sugar in a medium bowl and set aside for later.
Take a piece of dough, roll it into a ball, then shape it into a sausage shape, finally shape it into a crescent, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for about 8 minutes.
When finished, let them cool slightly, then carefully pour them into a bowl with mixed sugar and carefully coat them in sugar.
