Raspberry Almond Crescent Cookies with Coconut image

I came up with this recipe years ago, and am proud to say they were published in BH&G magazine, but it's been so long now, that I don't remember when exactly! But I make them every year for Christmas! They're actually very easy to make, but look very impressive on a cookie tray! Buttery, flaky and so good!!! Hope you try them! :)...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut up
2 cups flour
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup raspberry preserves, seedless if preferred
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
sugar, for rolling in

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, use a pastry cutter to cut butter into flour til pieces are pea-sized. In small bowl, stir together the egg yolk and sour cream, then stir into flour mixture til all the dough is moistened. Gently knead the dough just til a ball forms. Wrap dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours til firm. Divide dough into 4 portions. On a well-sugared surface, use your hands to slightly flatten the dough. Roll dough from center out to edges, forming a 10" circle. Repeat with rest of dough, making sure you re-sugar your surface well! Turn each dough circle over. (So they are sugar side-up.) In medium bowl, combine preserves, coconut, almonds and vanilla and almond extracts well. Just use a spoon, but stir well. Spread thin layer of the mixture thinly over each circle. With a pizza wheel, cut each circle into 12 wedges just like you were cutting a pizza. Roll each wedge up (loosely), beginning with the wide end, and roll towards the pointed end. (Just like you do crescent rolls.) Place all point-side down onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. (Parchment paper is a must, you'll thank me later!) Sprinkle all with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 17 minutes or til just set and very lightly browned. Immediately and carefully remove with a sharp spatula to wire racks to cool. They will set completely as they cool. Makes 48 sweet, buttery, flaky crescent cookies.
