Snowy Butter Crescents

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

• 2 cups cake flour
• 10 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• additional powdered sugar, for coating cookie

(dough may be easier to handle if it is chilled 15-20 minutes before shaping.) place crescents on cooky sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart, and chill thoroughly. this step prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
• 2 before removing from refrigerator, preheat oven to 400 degrees f. it is important for the oven to reach this temperature before putting in the cookies, again to prevent excessive spreading. bake cookies until delicately browned at the edges, about 8-10 minutes. watch carefully. while still hot, roll cookies in additional powdered sugar.
