Yield Makes about 40

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
3/4 cup (3 1/2 ounces) coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, each stick cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon (scant) cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 cup sugar, nuts, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in processor. Using on/off turns, process until nuts are finely ground. Add butter in 4 additions, processing to blend after each addition. Add almond extract; process to blend. Add flour and cinnamon. Using on/off turns, process until dough comes together. Transfer to work surface. Form dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Measure 1 tablespoon dough; form into ball, then roll into 2 1/2-inch-long log, tapering slightly at both ends. Gently bend into crescent shape. (If dough is very cold, it may form cracks; smooth over cracks before continuing.) Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Bake cookies until slightly puffed and edges turn golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sift remaining 1 cup sugar over hot cookies. Cool completely on sheets on rack. Roll cooled cookies in powdered sugar remaining on sheets. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Store in airtight containers at room temperature.
  • Good to go:
  • The hazelnut crescents and ginger cookies would both ship well. To make sure they arrive intact, pack the cookies in a metal tin between sheets of waxed paper. Ball up some waxed paper to place on top of the final cookie layer to make sure the cookies don't shift and break in transit.

Overall, these crescents were a bit disappointing. I wouldn't recommend them.

These were a lot of work for the end result. I don't think I'll be making them again.

The filling was too runny and leaked out of the crescents while they were baking.

I had trouble getting the crescents to roll up properly. They kept breaking apart.

The crescents were a bit dry, but the flavor was good.

These crescents are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The hazelnuts add a nice crunch and the cinnamon gives them a warm flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of Nutella, so I used a different hazelnut spread instead. The crescents were still delicious.

These were delicious! I made them for my family and they loved them. The crescents were flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful.

I've made these crescents several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of hazelnuts and cinnamon is irresistible.

These hazelnut cinnamon crescents were a hit at my holiday party! They were so easy to make and turned out beautifully. The Nutella filling was the perfect touch of sweetness.
