Walnut Crescents – Recipe

These Walnut Crescents are another favorite cookie recipe of  mine.  This dough is very similar to the Butter Balls recipe, but instead of almonds it uses ground walnuts.

It is a very simple recipe to make, but once baked, these cookies are very delicate and fragile  For best results it is best to leave them on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes after baking to cool off, before gently removing them onto a cooling rack.

This recipe yields about 48 pieces.
