Pecan Crescent Cookies


We lived in Allentown, PA we went to an IBM Christmas Party.  A lady named Bev Farkus brought these cookies.  She was very kind and shared her special recipe. I still think they are my favorite cookie!

1/2 C soft butter
1/4 C powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 1/4 C sifted cake flour
3/4 C chopped pecans
 
Cream butter until soft and smooth, add sugar and flavorings, and blend until smooth. Stir in flour gradually; finally stir in nuts. Shape in small balls all the same size and then shape them into a crescent shape. Place on a parchment covered cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. They will not be brown on top, but bottom will be light brown. Roll immediately in powdered sugar. Makes about 40.
