Pecan Crescents

Perfect! Two cups of pecans makes all the difference. Most recipes have only one.

This is the easiest recipe to make! My family loved them, especially my youngest daughter! These are her favorite cookies! Try it, you won’t regret it!

Perfect recipe. My mother-in-law made these and she called them Nutty Fingers. She cooked them lower and slower, but these were perfect at 325 for about 20-25 minutes.

While the flavor of the cookies is great I consider my attempt an epic failure. The cookies crumbled and powdered sugar spilled. I used parchment paper and when I pulled the pan out of the oven the cookies slid off the pan. ?????

I put them in the powdered sugar when they are still warm and then let them cool and toss them again! So good!!!

Melt in your mouth!

Love these. My grandpa used to make them. He used to make them super small. Must have took him forever. Mine are a bit bigger. Tip for rolling in powdered sugar: Line a box top with waxed paper or parchment. I use a lid from a copy paper box. You can then throw a ton of cookies in it at once along with the powdered sugar and just roll and shake gently. Can get that part done rather quickly and then put them in tins or containers. If your cookies spread while baking, your dough is too warm. Refrigerate for a little bit. (Same with spritz!)!

The lightest most delicious cookies I’ve ever made. Highly recommended. I used a little extra sugar in the batter. The trick for me was to make them small and not too thick. My first batch was rather large, still tastes good but I like the smaller size better. Someone’s tip to chill the dough was helpful and if its cold enough rolling them in a tube and then bending works for the shape.

Perfect!

no changes to it. Just like Mom used to make them

Very Yummy! I made them as directed, they came out perfect. I’m not a fan of sweet things, but my husband is, so I made some without powdered sugar coating and some with. We both are thrilled with them. Thanks.

These were terrible!!!!! And I cooked them perfectly! They tasted like I was eating packed flour.

They came out pretty delicious my kids loved them! Will be making them again!

Great recipe! Only change was I added a pinch of salt. I did not make the crescent shape and instead made flattened balls. After rolling in the powdered sugar I let cool some more and then rolled again. Easy recipe and will be made yearly.

Turned out great! Followed recipe, and couldn`t stop eating them!

Delightfully delish. If they spread out to far put in the refrigerator for a half hour or so.

I made these at Christmas and they were a hit. Very nutty. I didn’t make crescents though. Too much work :). I just used my cookie scoop and pounded out the whole batch of dough in about 5 minutes. Double the recipe if you want to share.

So Good! The only thing I would change for next time is a little tiny bit less flour so they do not crumble as easy out of the oven.

This recipe has been handed down generations in my family, but this recipe is missing one important step. After rolling the batter into crescents on a cookie sheet(s), they should be put in the refrigerator overnight (8 hours) before baking. I believe this is why one of the bakers mentioned that hers flattened out during baking. Thank you for posting the recipe! – Lee
