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.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help keep the dough flaky and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Work quickly: The dough should be worked as little as possible to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the dough hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the crescents until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy texture.
  • Serve the crescents warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
