for the gourmet...

i made a new cookie yesterday -- we're taking food in to work one day a month this year -- just my little department (5 of us plus a new person to start shortly). this cookie is called crescent cookies and turns out to be delicious. but .... it's way too much bother to me (not a lot of work, just bother) so i won't be making it again. and each cookie probably has a gazillion fat grams per. no salt though.

2 sticks butter (softened), 3 tbl pwd sugar;
1 tea vanilla;
2 cups flour, 1 cup chopped pecans;
pwd sugar

preheat over to 350*. cream butter and sugar at medium until light and fluffy. add vanilla and blend. slowly add flour on low and mix until blended. stir in pecans. pinch off 2 tea of dough; shape into crescent; place on ungreased baking sheet. repeat. bake until golden (about 20 minutes). roll carefully in pwd sugar while warm, then again when slightly cool. (they break easily.)

mmmmm, delicious. next time i might try a silver-dollar shape instead. no, wait ... there's not going to BE a next time.
too much work. lot of mess. takes time....
