Recipe: Pecan Crescent Cookies Recipe for the Holidays
Wholesome Farmhouse Recipes
These Pecan Crescent Cookies are very delicate cookies with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. It takes a while to shape them, but they look so attractive on the cookie plate Great little cookie that will always remain a part of our Christmas cookie favorites.
My dad’s absolute favorite during the Holidays. Pecan crescent cookies hold a special place. Nothing says the holiday season quite like the comforting aroma of cookies baking in the oven.
These buttery, crescent-shaped delights are not only simple to make but also add an elegant touch to any holiday cookie tray.
Recipe by: Victoria
-
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Butter cold and cut into pieces
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar plus additional confectioners’ sugar for coating
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Pecans finely chopped pecans, use a food processor for the easiest way
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- In the bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, cream butter and powdered sugar until smooth. 1 Cup Butter, 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- Add vanilla extract, and pecans. Mix until combined. 1 Cup Pecans, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Gradually add flour, mixing until the dough forms. 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- Chill the Dough. Divide the dough into two portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. This step helps achieve that crisp texture.
- Shape and Bake. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or use an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Roll chilled dough into small crescent shapes or round balls if you prefer Mexican wedding cookies. Our local bakery makes these cookies once a year and they keep the small rolled logs straight rather than curved.
- Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little bit of space between each. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Sugar Coat. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack.
- While still warm, roll each cookie in powdered sugar for that signature sugar coating.
