Walnut Crescent Cookie

This week my sister and I visited my 90 year old Nonna in the hospital. She is one of the reasons I started this blog, on her 90th birthday we asked her what advice she would give a young woman, she said to slow down and enjoy life. That was an "AH-HA" moment. When I visited her in the hospital this week I said I would make her cookies for the next time I came, she requested Crescent cookies, so here they are!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature

• 1/4 cup icing sugar + additional for dusting

• 2 Tsp. Vanilla

2. Cream butter and icing sugar together till fluffy. Blend in Vanilla, Flour and Walnuts and mix till combined.

4. Bake about 15 minutes or till the edges are slightly brown.

5. Let cool for 5 minutes then lightly dust in icing sugar.
